100 million solar masses and it’s “small”! Tremendous potential energy between the two, where does it all go when they merge?

Its the ultimate stimulus bill!

Good question! I'm not a physicist, far from it, but I'm guessing most of it goes down the drain with the "little" black hole, and the rest is released as the most powerful gravity-wave tsunami the universe has seen in quite some time AND the most powerful gamma ray burst/explosion since the Big Bang (that we know of), sometime around the year 12,000 AD.

Gives me the chills. I'd love to see it! I suppose the Earth will be safe at this distance, even if the beam is pointed right at us.
