That's already creepy enough on its own. I'm not going to believe in it.

This seems somewhat flawed. If it was a black hole, wouldn't the solar system already be sucked in?

It states that the black hole was formed from quantum fluctuations following the Big Bang; it is only 10 Earth masses and the size of a bowling ball. Either way, I don't believe in it.
