I think light is 186 thousand miles per second? Therefore this is about 2 thousands miles per second.

Can the mass of the star and speed be used to conclude the attraction of the black hole?

We now see that “whizzing’ is the proper technical term for traveling at near-luminal velocities…

More like 12,960,000 mph.
SOL: 360,000 mps * 60 = 21,600,000 mpm * 60 = 1,296,000,000 * 0.01 = 12,960,000.

It would be interesting to calculate how time is being warped in that system.

Well, that’s gonna play hell with local daylight savings time.

So the star orbiting black hole is effectively “circling the drain” that’s why it’s moving so fast eventually it’s just going to go into the black hole

Yet another equivalent measure: going around the earth every 13 seconds for an object at 1% speed of light.
Very little relativistic effect (time slowing) at these speeds.

According to the movie “Interstellar”, a person visiting that star would experience two terrestrial years per orbit.
