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

Black holes are cosmic factories for building galaxies

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.

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.

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.
