JWST James Webb Space Telescope helped confirm the existence of a supermassive black hole moving at 2.2 million miles per hour. We'll be looking at how something that massive could ever reach that speed without violating physics.
This video breaks down the real science behind one of the most extreme events the universe allows. We start with the mysterious streak first noticed by Hubble, explain why it is not gravitational lensing, and then dive into the only mechanisms capable of accelerating a black hole weighing millions of Suns.
