Apparently, math supports that this causes a distortion in the fabric of space-time that allows for backwards time travel.

OJ 287 is a supermassive black hole with a mass equal to 18 billion suns. Orbiting it is a "small' black hole of 'only' 150 million solar masses. (The Black hole at the center of our galaxy is 4.2 million times the mass of the sun).

It got the attention of Astronomers because twice every 12 years it got a trillion times brighter in a seemingly random way. The latest flare up was predicted to within 15 minutes of when it happened again. It's orbit actually makes a Rosetta pattern predicted by General relativity. An animation of that orbit is right here.
