Quantum Explained on Instagram: "How Fast Can a Black Hole Move? Faster Than Light? Description: Black holes are some of the most mysterious and powerful objects in the universe. But do they actually move, and if so, how fast? According to physics, nothing can travel faster than light (299,792,458 m/s). Yet black holes possess such intense gravity that not even light can escape their pull — making them appear completely dark. Some black holes can drift across galaxies at thousands of kilometers
