Black Holes?

(1/5) > >>

I had a question. if a black hole has near infinite density. how does it remain at a maximum of Zero velocity. i mean if a object equal to at least 10 solar masses how come it is not moving at all?

Dan Dixon:
I'm not sure I understand your question...

Being massive doesn't mean that it will move. In Universe Sandbox an object will only move if you give it some velocity (hit the Nudge button) or the gravitational force of another object pulls on it.

Does that help?

ruletheuniverse!:
Ummmmmm hehe NO

Dan Dixon:
What do you mean by "how does it remain at a maximum of Zero velocity. i mean if a object equal to at least 10 solar masses how come it is not moving at all?"

Why would it move by itself?  Help me understand your question. :)

Frosty10001:
Hmm.. I think I might have an idea of what ruletheuniverse! is talking about.. Since a object with the mass about 10 solar masses would be very slow to move, since the milky way is a galaxy and takes millions of light years to move, thats why your object with that much mass couldn't move in your expectations.
