>Astronomers estimate that 100 million black holes roam among the stars in our Milky Way galaxy, but they have never conclusively identified an isolated black hole.
That's an insane number. Also glad none if them is close to us lol.
Imagine being worried about the SMBH at the center and some other one creeps up towards you (or a 3+ stellar mass one collapses in on itself and forms beside you as a neighbor).
