Thank you. - If we rubbed mineral oil/baby oil on us would we move faster in the water? -  How long would we survive if the earth left the suns orbit going away from the sun? - Could everything that gets sucked into all black holes everywhere in the universe go to the same place? - Do black holes rotate?
