I wanna be the kid that ask for a hotdog before food is done but here I am the hero standing over the grill putting meat fresh off the grill in some light bread for a hungry onlooker
A Black Hole Can Be Dragged Through Spacetime
A Black Hole does not have to sit still.
Einsteinโs equations allow a stranger possibility... a Black Hole that accelerates.
This is the C-metric, an exact solution of General Relativity describing an accelerating Black Hole.
The Black Hole accelerates because the geometry of Spacetime says it must.
The C-metric is one of those exact solutions that reminds us how wild General Relativity really is. Gravity is not just attraction, and Spacetime is not just a stage.
Sometimes the stage itself contains the force.
