Rogue black holes could be wandering at the edges of the Milky Way

[Admin]

A new simulation predicts that the lost giants were dislodged by gigantic collisions and have wandered the outskirts of galaxies ever since.

Rogue stars and even rogue planets are also thought to be on the increase.

My observation. The cosmology calculators show z=4.0, the age of the universe about 1.558 billion years old. Light time distance is 12.162 billion light years, and angular size of the universe about 4.78 billion light years, thus a diameter < 10 billion light years across compared to the present size said to be 93 billion light years in diameter. The comoving radial distance for some of these black holes >= 24 billion light years away so the objects are moving away much faster than c velocity now. SMBH of one million solar masses has a diameter about 3.95 x 10^-2 au. SMBH with one billion solar masses, diameter about 39.5 au.
