Preliminary analysis of orbiting spacecraft around a black hole to test the compact object's nature and General Relativity under the assumption of deceleration capability.
Civilizations can achieve galaxy-spanning reach within biological lifetimes via time-dilated orbits near black hole photon spheres using classical general relativity, with a Type II civilization enabling 10^4 dilation factors.
