Black holes could be right now zooming through the Universe at astonishing speeds just under 10 percent of the speed of light.

    But what if all nearby objects are moving towards it at a similar speed? Or away? At such a large scale speed becomes a mind bending thing.

      No other large object will be moving close to that speed so it’ll be almost like they are standing still.
