if blackholes stretch time so much time stops, how can they move at all?
shouldn't they get stuck in place once time stop? 

If by definition blackholes are indeed immovable, then either galaxies don't
move, or they don't got central blackholes, and blackholes, being immovable,
would never hit another blackholes to merge into bigger blackhole, and spinning
blackholes would also be impossible since the spinning would slowdown as time
stretches.


I'm guessing blackholes do move somehow inspite of stopping time since those
things I mentioned in the previous paragraph seems to be the opposite of what
most scientists seem to believe to be close to the truth, which brings me back
to my original question, how can blackholes move if time has stopped for them?
