What Happens When Two Black Holes Collide With Each Other?

Known as the voids of space, the black holes have always been scarier for astronomers. More than the millions and billions of mass than the sun, they eat up everything in its way from tiny grains to gigantic stars. Things get even more scary when two of the massive black holes merge together. On such event has been discovered by the scientists where two massive black holes are going to collide creating the unimaginable. Can you imagine what power they are going to possess or how destructible it can be? The scientists are expectant because this might unravel some greatest mysteries about the black holes.
Welcome to Cosmos Lab. Your one station for all the news from space. Join us in today’s video to find about the never seen before merger of the two gigantic celestial bodies to one super massive black hole.
Most massive galaxies in the Universe contain supermassive black holes with masses ranging from millions to billions of Suns. We don't know how these massive, immensely dense objects formed, or what causes a percentage of them to begin eating the surrounding matter at extraordinarily fast rates, radiating copiously across the electromagnetic spectrum, and transforming their host galaxies into 'active galactic nuclei.'
But now, astronomers say they have detected hints that two gigantic black holes with a combined mass of hundreds of millions of Suns are preparing for a cataclysmic merger as soon as 100 days from now in the heart of a galaxy 1.2 billion light-years from Earth. If it happens, it will be the first time astronomers witness an event of this magnitude, it will be a defining moment in astronomy, providing a peek of a long-predicted but never seen mechanism for black hole formation.
The prediction was made in a recent study by Ning Jiang and Huan Yang. Huan Yang, a researcher at the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Canada, and co-author of the study, understands why some astronomers have shown skepticism regarding the upcoming merger.
Telling the news, he said, “I think people have doubt, and that’s totally reasonable. People are thinking, ‘ah, what if this thing doesn’t sustain?’
Yang collaborated with Ning Jiang of the University of Science and Technology of China to unravel this cosmic mystery. They made the prediction by using the data collected from a survey telescope in California called the Zwicky Transient Facility.
Other astronomers scrambled to arrange telescope observing time as soon as the publication emerged on the preprint server at the end of January. Team member Huan Yang says, "We've seen people act quite quickly."

Strange Discovery On Lost Nasa Tapes Revealed!

[reaality]

When observing anything 1.2 billion light-years away, we are looking at what happened 1.2 billion years ago. These two black holes merged 1.2 billion years ago.

[ste]

So this actually happened 1.2 billion years ago. Panic over!

[AReallyLongAndUnremakableUser]

At least scientists aren't TERRIFIED by this.

[nysockexchange]

Shall I get Black Hole Collision insurance?

[ctwentysevenj]

If it is 1.2 billion light years away, which means the merger occurred 1.2 billion years ago.

[jimbuchanan]

A few things have crossed my mind. 1-Will they merge? What if the predictions are wrong and they do not merge but contain enough particles which might react like two negative poles approaching each other? 2-If they do merge and do not create a big bang or spew particles all over the place what does that tell us of our understanding of our science? 3-How will it change our understanding of things all cosmic from what we understand at this time. Certainly more speculation!

[peterpalumbo]

I think it would be a good idea for someone to have told us about this new x ray telescope.

[edwardprice]

1.2 BBBillion light years, who cares.

It is possible that with the merger of 2 Suppermassive Blackholes, they might not do anything but send ripples of gravitational waves. The gravitational pull from just 1 blackhole is so strong that we cant really comprehend. So imagine 2 of these Galactic Giants crashing into each other. I think it could be something like 2 drops of water on a windshield of a vehicle. When the 2 droplets merge together, its pulsates a little and becomes stable. So I would think this would be how the 2 Suppermassive Blackholes will react to a merger. But the pulsating that the water droplets do. This will be on a much larger scale and will become Gravitational Waves that will be able to reach Earth in 1.2 billion years. Give or take a few hundred million years. Lol.
The reason I dont think it will be a huge explosion like some are predicting? This is easy for me to explain. This isnt the 1st time 1 galaxy and another galaxy have merged together. If they would be that disastrous and destructive, then those galaxies would have been blown apart. We would be able to see the remnants of this explosion. We would be scratching our heads and asking what happened to this galaxy. So yeah, I dont think it will be a huge explosion and more like the 2 water droplets on a windowpane.

When you die you vanish from the present universe. but your consciousness transfer into another copy of you in the other universe. The problem is what type of situation that you in the other universe as an example your copy of you may be in the prison in another universe or you may be the king. i believe we can change our destination by practicing good karma in our universe

[davidhollis]

My thoughts are if you think of magnets and the black holes are negative then they never hit. The could get close then repeal each other. If you think them as a hungry mouth then the bigger one just going to swallow it up but it may give a big burp as it traps matter on the way down. Only time will tell.

[whtfsh]

"TERRIFYING"? Are you serious? Well, I suppose that's one way to get viewers.

[sgh]

Umm... if this event is 1.2 billion light years away, didn't this happen a long long time ago? These discoveries are old news lol.

[mabonbran]

Lol! 1.2 billion light years is not that close. There are hundreds much much closer...

[bobtrucker]

Do you think that the merger of two super black holes could cancel each other like mater and intermater would?

[jssomewhere]

I don't think this merger happens with a whisper. I think it will be an event to be remembered. It will add to our knowledge of black holes. I hope it will. It could be one of the few ways to gain knowledge from the outside.

[wkham]

A black hole is not a hole. It is just a perfectly round space-time due to gravity.

[roddyfowler]

If it happens in 100 days from now we won't see it for 1.2 billion years.

[KJames]

What they are looking at is a hologram of the merger of Andromeda and The Milky Way 😆 1.2 billion lya is quite near in cosmic terms from are very own galaxy, Andromeda is around 5, 537, 000 million lya.

Bigger the black hole the more matter it can hold onto, which means bigger galaxies, without black holes the galaxies would be ripped to shreads from the expansion of the universe.
