The black hole at the center of the galaxy isn't anywhere near solar size. It's a lot bigger than that.

In EE Smith's universe it might not exist.

I was wondering where the 10x solar mass Blackhole came from. I don't expect Doc Smith to how about the Blackhole at the center of the galaxy back then.

Average mass of a stellar black hole.

So just take the square root of five times the blackhole's mass to find it's telekinetic (one direction only) Strength.

That doesn't sound right. For a homogenous body, its HP equal 8 times the cube root of its mass (in "pounds," because GURPS tends to treat mass and weight as interchangeable).
