Did you
want to know what will happen if two black holes collide with each other?
A Black
hole is a highly dense region in space where the gravitational force is so
strong that nothing can escape its pulling power not even light which is the
fastest moving thing in our universe. So far scientists have managed to identify
four different types of black holes namely
1. Stellar
2. Super-massive
3. Intermediate and
4. Miniature
Out of them the stellar black holes are
most commonly found all around the universe and there are billions of them in a
galaxy alone but one fascinating thing about these mysterious objects is their
ability to float freely around the universe and because of this there is always
a chance of them running and smashing into each other.
If such an event occurs it's obvious to think
that the results will be truly destructive. What will happen if two black holes
Collide will depend upon?
1. the sizes of the two black holes
2. the speeds at which they are moving
how fast they are rotating and
3. the angle of their Collision for
instance
If two super fast
spinning black hole bumps into each other at just a right angle the smaller
black hole will be pushed away from the larger black hole and send crashing
through the vast space in an uncontrolled manner.
But this isn't as simple
as it sounds yes that's because when two black holes Collide in such a manner
the energy emitted from such a collision is so intense that it sends ripples
soaring through the fabric of space-time in the form of gravitational waves
these waves contain roughly eight times more energy than within our Sun's atoms
that amount of energy is like setting off more than a million billion atomic bombs
every second for 13.8 billion years.
So if such a collision
occurs anywhere near our solar system then the energy coming from these merging
black holes would destroy everything in their path including Earth but
fortunately that's unlikely to happen as the closest black hole to us called
The Unicorn is located about 1500 light years away from Earth and that's very
very far.
Did you know on May 21st
2019 Earth trembled due to the gravitational waves that came from the Collision
of two massive black holes that occurred nearly 7 billion years ago? Researchers
estimate that the two black holes must be 66 and 85 times more massive than a
sun spiraled into each other merging to form a black hole 142 times more
massive than our sun.
