Explanation: What happens when two black holes collide? This extreme scenario likely occurs in the centers of some merging galaxies and multiple star systems. The featured video shows a computer animation of the final stages of such a merger, while highlighting the gravitational lensing effects that would appear on a background starfield. The black regions indicate the event horizons of the dynamic duo, while a surrounding ring of shifting background stars indicates the position of their combined Einstein ring. All background stars not only have images visible outside of this Einstein ring, but also have one or more companion images visible on the inside. Eventually the two black holes coalesce. The end stages of such a merger may provide a strong and predictable blast of gravitational radiation, a much sought after form of radiation different than light that has never yet been directly observed.

“The black regions indicate the event horizons of the dynamic duo”
An event horizon is basically the distance from the center of a black hole at which the escape velocity (the speed needed for something to break free from the gravitational field) exceeds the speed of light. The more mass a black hole contains, the further its event horizon extends into space. All massive objects have a specific escape velocity. For example, for Earth it’s about 18,000 miles/hr.
“TIL in 1993, during a Friar’s Club roast of Whoopie Goldberg, her then-boyfriend Ted Danson appeared in black-face and began telling racially charged jokes. Montel Williams stormed out of the event and then-Mayor Dinkins claimed offense. It was later revealed that Whoopie wrote the jokes.”
hysterical LOL
This is a racist event!
No white holes here, move along.
Black Holes Matter!
No it ain’t! It’s Black-On-Black Crime, so the MSM ignores it!........................
I promise you Sunken; I mean no offense to YOU whatsoever. You’re merely the messenger, and I love and marvel at the images you provide, and the explanations that accompany them. But.....
They really had me until the words “computer animation”. Yes, gullible me. I thought that perhaps Hubble or one of the other instruments had finally enabled us to SEE a black hole. Nobody has ever actually SEEN a black hole, have they? It’s just a theory or a concept, isn’t it? I’d seriously like to know.
And then I realized (computer animation) that this was right up there with R2D2, and Yoda, and computer models for climate change; which the Australian computer engineer who recently deconstructed the code being used in the climate change models, found that they had CO2 factored in at 10 times its actual existance in the atmosphere. They’re playing us in every direction. IMHO.
Thank you, Sunken. Sincerely.
...They usually demand reparations.
After they broke up, he was on the cover of one of the tabloids (or newsmagazines, basically the same thing), saying, ‘basically, I went crazy for about a year’. So, all is forgiven. And Whoopsie? She was hired for “The View” of course.
I stole it, fair and square. :’)
The end stages of such a merger may provide a strong and predictable blast of gravitational radiation, a much sought after form of radiation different than light that has never yet been directly observed.The concept of a black hole was first put forward as pure research, long before there was anything like the Standard Model; the mass needed to produce a body with an escape velocity at least equal to the light's was calculated using Newtonian physics. This appeared probably a century or more before Einstein's first paper on relativity.
Those are Black A-Holes
