NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Telescope (WISE) has uncovered millions of supermassive black holes in our universe as well as a strange new type of galaxy, called a hot DOG or dust-obscured galaxy.
“This is a jackpot of black holes, two to three times more than have been found by any other survey,” said astronomer Daniel Stern, during a NASA press conference today.
By carefully scanning the entire night sky in infrared wavelengths, WISE has spotted more than 2.5 million black holes, all of them actively feeding on gas and dust in their host galaxies. Most of these supermassive objects, known as quasars, are roughly 10 billion light-years away.

Amazing, I can't even comprehend it.
The thought process alone hurts my head!!!

Ouch, that is some black hole field. Luckily, they are quite far apart each other, you should be able to weasel your way if you ever got there. If I were Captain Jean-Luc Picard, I would put Data at the helm, and say, "no faster than quarter-impulses!"

Whoa, think about how star travelers avoid these things.

They don't...they use them to get thru space. I really do think one way or another that we can use black holes as a time warp of some sort.

The material goes into a black hole at the horizontal and comes out in the vertical. When it comes out it is different than when it went in. Eventually the material forms mass again as it groups back. In essence the universe recycles itself.
