Do elves do the work? Are black holes unionized? Inspiring minds want to know.

Physics does the work.
To me that means God created them.
Opinions of that differ, but union gnomes or elves are most likely not involved. ;)

When you consider the energies and vast distances involved it sure makes our problems here look mighty puny by comparison.

"creating new stars at a frantic rate equivalent to about 350 suns per year"
oh my.... merely trying to imagine such a galaxy-creation process is exhausting.... the energy and mass(es) involved must be stupendous.... well at least "astronomical" in the equations and calculations.

Sounds like BS to me. A black hole sweeps up much more matter than whatever matter/energy might be ejected from its accretion disk. Black holes eventually dismantle the galaxies in which they reside. We are circling the drain right now, but it will take a long time to get there. A naked black hole can only assemble a galaxy to reside in by attracting and concentrating matter in its neighborhood.

I thought black holes were places where liberal logic thought went.

I know of a Black A Hole that thinks he is the King of America.
Is that the same thing?

However, there was a companion galaxy close to it creating new stars at a frantic rate equivalent to about 350 suns per year.So what you are basically saying is, the time needed for a galaxy to be formed is highly variable and contingent on the activity of many unknown and little-understood phenomena. You'll pardon me, then, if I find a galaxy forming in 24-hours hypothetically possible, given this disclosure.
To: Stirner
The super massive black hole at the center of our galaxy is not “feeding”.

No. Galaxy formation is a well understood phenomenon. It really all depends on gravity. Jump up and down. That same force that draws matter together is what makes galaxies. Its as simple as that.

Hypothetically anything is possible, but how probable is it?
Then there’s the question of forming a planet and fully inhabiting it in the 5 days following the ignition of a new star. How probable is that?
To: Blood of Tyrants
Either that or rabbit holes.

In the absence of indications of other galaxy-less black holes constructing their new caccoon, this seems more of a one-of.
Mightn’t this instead be a black hole that was at some time in the far past in the center of a conventional galaxy that collided with a second galaxy, and rather then the two black holes merging, this one by chance is ejected to its “current” observed position.
