          @gedeon @neiltyson definitely not an immovable object but they produce a nearly irresistible force.

          @gedeon @neiltyson the forces that are causing the universe to expand and galaxies to move are moving the black holes around too

          @neiltyson Can this equation be solved & are there any known applications ? I suspect it has something to do with electro-magnatism or grav.
