Do Black Holes Move Through Spacetime?

-- | June 30, 2015

Question: Does a black hole move through spacetime or does it draw spacetime to “it” giving the illusion its moving?  — Nigel

Answer: Black holes move through spacetime just like any other object in the universe.  It is true, though, that black holes “warp” spacetime more than other objects due to their extremely intense gravitational field.
