If two black holes collide with each other?

 


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 if the scenarios are not perfectly timed the most likely outcome will be that they won't be able to escape each other's gravitational force and come closer and closer until they start to orbit each other during this process they would begin pulling matter and gas into a Vortex between them and in the next few billion years they will eventually merge into each other and form a new bigger black hole known as a binary black hole.

                        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.
