Gravitational Recoil

Hubble Detects a Rogue Supermassive Black Hole

A Large Regular links to Physics-Astronomy's Blog where they are talking about a runaway black hole. How did it become a runaway? Gravitational recoil. What? That sounds like hand waving mumbo-jumbo. So I poked around and came up with this video. It is all hand waving mumbo-jumbo, but we paid for it and this is the story the egg heads came up with. But you know, if you believe in black holes, well then sure, we can believe in gravitational recoil. The universe is just out of control, man.
