Black holes occur in the galaxy at a frequency of approximately one for every 100,000 stars.
“I would say one out of every 100,000 stars in the galaxy objects in Stellar objects in the galaxy is a black hole as the consequence of the death of this process”

“so you get closer you have to go faster and faster and faster to to stabilize that extra term to stay in orbit but that just makes this this third term even bigger because it's gravity times rotation and that eventually destabilizes the orbit”
