It’s almost like watching the credits of a Hollywood movie go by. And since, as the paper says, “The Milky Way is expected to contain of order 10^^8 stellar mass black holes (BHs)”, it looks like they can expect lifelong employment … not that any of this knowledge they garner will be needed any time soon by the rest of us. In fact, much of it will likely be lost when the Great Reset occurs.
