Excellent, that's really useful, thanks.

I can't see the Infinite Improbability Drive, but that's probably because it was a silly idea.

It is just infinitely improbable that it is on that list ...

Where did you get this information from? I've read nothing to substantiate such a claim. I know that astronomers have detected stars in orbit around what may be a huge black hole but these stars were hardly rotating anywhere near light speed.
The problem with having planets near the galactic core that are inhabitable by our kind of life is the high levels of radiation from nearby stars and supernovae. Planets risk being ejected from their solar systems by close encounters with nearby stars as well.

I keep running into that info. every once in awhile. But I can't think of any sources to go to right now. The theory is, since there is supposedly a massive black hole in the center of every galaxy, then stars must be whipping around it at nearly the speed of light. So, anyway, it's probably wrong.
