Primordial black holes, if they exist, are simply too rare for there to be any real chance of one hitting the tiny target of a human’s vital organs amidst the entire expanse of the universe.

A rare collision between two supermassive black holes (SMBH) appears to have sent the resulting merger speeding through the universe, making it one of the fastest-moving black holes we have ever seen.
