Bada Boom: Dancing black holes
Pair of black holes locked in death dance: 'One of the black holes invariably will eat the other'
Now, that's just impressive.Originally posted by anonymous astrophysicist(s)
The collision will create a single super-supermassive black hole capable of swallowing material equal to billions of stars.“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

Haha! It got you to read it, though! “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

that's really interesting though
I can't even begin to fathom how a hole could swallow another hole

That's just your dirty mind superimposing sexual meaning on cold, astrophysical phenomena.Originally posted by docthory
that sounds dirty But then again, when a black hole is locked into a binary pair, spinning like a lover dancing a dervish with a young, vibrant star still aglow with the burning of its nuclear fuel, one often finds a hot spiraling stream of superheated gas drawn from the star and spilling into the open, eager throat of the hungry black hole which, by this vampiric embrace in which it swallows the substance of its mate even as it draws it closer, grows and expands until the other is completely consumed in a ravenous collision that sends throbbing gravity waves across the universe.
... Um, yeah, okay, so maybe astronomy porn doesn’t have the future I thought it did.
