Question

what would happen if 2 black holes collided?

Answer 1

They do all the time. It creates a massive explosion, and then you have one very big, very dense, black hole.

Answer 2

Hello,



(ANS) This is like asking what would happen if two whirl pools collided in water, well black holes bend the fabric of space time and so suck matter of all types into them.



**Although I don't know what would actually happen if two black holes collided my guess is that one black hole would possibly absorb the other, especially if one was more powerful or larger than the other. I think logically you would end up with some thing called a "Super Black hole" or a "Mega Black hole". Or to put it another way a single vast black hole twice the size of the original individual black holes.



Black Hole A + Black Hole B = Mega Black Hole C



Kind Regards Ivan

Answer 3

You get a bigger black hole with an amazing fireworks show to boot. The core of most galaxies (including our own) have a massive black hole as a result of those collisions. Those collisions are commonplace in galactic centers because the stars are much more dense (closer together) in that region, increasing the possibility of such mergers. When massive stars collide, the result may likely yield a neutron star, where atomic nuclei are are crushed together cheek to cheek, where electrons overcome the Pauli principle governing degenerate white dwarf matter, slam into protons, thus rendering them neutrons, and voila, a neutron star is born. If that neutron star is still too massive, it will become a black hole, though current theory suggests that even those neutrons are squished into their constituent quarks, so a black hole can be considered a "quark star". Though not comprised of your typical type of up and down quarks, but charmed, top, and strange quarks. Perhaps these are our dark matter candidates, who knows?

Answer 4

nothing would happen, if two super massive bodies of infinite singular dimesions collide they would cancel each other out as they are both negative in mass. if i can remember correctly 2 negatives dont make a whole but 2 positives do make a hole in space and time=black hole now that a rift has appeared in space time=a negative appears. or the colliding mass of the 2 blackholes would expell positive mass in the shape of a white hole or albeit a physical presence of a white hole but seeing as how all concepts are out of our tiny human minds the vewiers on the white hole side would see it as normal and ponder what lies behind.

Answer 5

They would suck each other in, lmao to the dude that said it sounded like p-orn!!!!!!



We dont know what black holes do in the first place, but Albert Einstein said that a black hole has to have an ending and, so, it has to have a tunnel of some sort and he said that if one is able to twist the middle of a black hole and create somthing that can pass through it safley, you will have yourself a time machine! So if your up to, go ahead and jump into a black hole.



If they collided, they would suck each other in, to.. we dont know where... perhaps a differnt time in the past/future??

Answer 6

when two black holes collided, it will gives out a ring down untill a new black hole is form.

Answer 7

When black holes collide they make one black hole that has twice as much mass.

Answer 8

Would not happen. If it did, nothing major, one would just assimilate another. Black holes are very dense and would not stray but just expand until another is engulfed. Nothing can escape a black hole, so whichever one has accumulated more mass or has reached further would engulf the other.

Answer 9

You get an intergalactic black-hole merger, BIG black hole.



That's what the best minds at NASA, and JPL say.

NASA guys recently developed the calculations that seem correct based on the 3D models of events they can track and observe.



http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/starsgalaxies/gwave.html



Apparently it's a pretty dramatically violent event, based on the models they've developed.

Pretty much it seems fairly - bad - from a gravitational perspective.

Answer 10

then you'd have 1 black hole with the combined mass of the 2 original black hole.

the new black hole's gravitational pull will also increase because now it has more mass

Answer 11

Honestly, no one actually has any idea. We don't know anything like as much about black holes as we think we do (theoretically, since no one has ever directly observed one, we can't even be certain they exist).



Realistically, nothing much would happen - there'd just be an even bigger black hole, probably.

Answer 12

They would merge and make a huge gravity wave splash. And a few ms later there would be only one black hole with a mass slightly smaller than the sum of the masses of the two precursors.

Answer 13

It wll created a big black hole and then the gravitational pull would be twice as big and can pull in a planet size of jupiter?

idk lol

Answer 14

They would just kind of conblobulate (I could not come up with a real word to say merge together) in to one bigger black hole.

Answer 15

It would cause gravity waves that we should be able to detect. There are some projects under way to try to detect these waves, but they would be exceedingly weak and difficult to detect since the closest black holes are so far away.

Answer 16

well, of course there is no accurate answer, only theories. i believe the main one is just that they would merge, and you would just get an even larger black hole.

Answer 17

They would merge, and become a more massive black hole.

Answer 18

Wed be in a hell of a big black hole.

Answer 19

As this is almost impossible to happen (that is with our understanding lol) Think of this....



+ add + = +

- add - = +

+ add - = -



So in my world, I would love it to happen as it would be in my favour

Answer 20

Swindon would happen

Answer 21

baby blackholes will start popping out !! hehe

Answer 22

Depends on how fast they're moving.

Answer 23

I haven't a clue, but woah.



Have a star.

Answer 24

ud have 1 verrrry large 1.....?

Answer 25

another big bang might occur, this is actually a theory on how everything began

Answer 26

sounds like the title of a low budget porno to me

Answer 27

we wouldn't see as time, mass & speed wouldn't be assessable to us

Answer 28

look on this web site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole#What_makes_it_impossible_to_escape_from_black_holes.3F

Answer 29

We'd all die!!
