From what I understand Gravity is not instantaneous and in fact
follows
waves of a speed of c. In an alderson universe, Alderson waves coincide
with gravity waves but must be joined by other energy releases.
Therefore,
a black hole with no mass to consume must get something to eat to
generate
the alderson point as illustrated in the story "He fell into a dark
hole."
