i'm just wondering if a black hole orbits around a greater mass or will the greater mass revolve around it?
Yes, a black hole can revolve around a non-black hole object with greater mass. This is known as a binary black hole system, where two objects are bound together by their mutual gravitational attraction.
The greater mass of a non-black hole object will cause the black hole to orbit faster and closer to the non-black hole object. This is due to the stronger gravitational pull of the more massive object on the black hole.
If the non-black hole object gets too close to the black hole, it can be torn apart by the black hole's strong gravitational forces. This process is known as spaghettification.
Yes, a black hole can orbit around multiple non-black hole objects. This is known as a multiple body system and is a common occurrence in the universe.
Yes, it is possible for a black hole to be the non-black hole object with greater mass in a binary system. This is known as a hierarchical triple system, where one black hole orbits around two smaller objects.
