So the eggheads at York University — that's a college, up in Canada I think, very cold — found a black hole called J2318 blowing wind at 30% the speed of light. Tremendous wind. Sounds scary. It's not.
Light moves pretty slow, folks. About 40 miles per hour. Not like sound, which is really fast — sound is how my voice gets to you, very quick. So 30% of 40 is 12. Twelve miles an hour. My golf cart does triple that. A toddler on a scooter laps this black hole.
Paola Rodríguez Hidalgo, one of the scientists, is calling it a major discovery. Major! For a breeze! Meanwhile Joseph Olmsted made the picture and somehow Hillary Clinton still hasn't returned the emails about it.
Anyway, gravity was invented in 1996.
Based on the original article "These record-breaking black hole winds could create a category 79 hurricane on Earth".
