Does anyone else find this…unsettling? Floating around in the void of space, alone, is an almost invisible monster that can gobble planets and stars.

> Prior to this new finding, all the black holes that have been identified have also had a companion star—they are discovered due to their impact on light emitted by their companion star. Without such a companion star, it would be very difficult to see a black hole.
It seems like we think there's many more of these black holes, but we just can't see them

I'm sure I'm not the only one that's thought of this, but could this be "dark matter"? Is the universe simply filled with these rouge black holes?

What I don't understand is how big bang could exist if such relatively "small" mass concentration creates black holes?

You'd be "lone" too if you ate all your neighbours.
