Black Hole Orbiting Civilizations

Black hole orbiting civilizations are one of the most extreme models in alien-civilization theory: societies associated not with ordinary stars, but with planets or habitats orbiting black holes. Drawing on black hole accretion-disk physics, relativistic habitability studies, and advanced astroengineering speculation, the concept explores how civilization might survive or even flourish in one of the harshest environments in the universe.
