How Do black Holes Collide

[OmegaOm]

This is a question I have had for many years, and I have never got a good answer for. I am hoping some of the bright minds here may help me to understand it more.

According to general relativity, if I am steady away from a black hole and my friend is falling towards a black hole, my friend looking back at me would see time speed up until the universe aged away. While I would see my friend stop in time and never reach the black hole.

So how then do astrophysicists detect gamma ray bursts of black holes colliding, when in our reference frame the 2 black holes should never meet.

It's an act of God, son. Don't trouble yourself any further.

Now I won't be able to sleep until someone has the answer to that one!

In a holographic Universe, it can only exist in your mind. The real question would be, "if they collide in my mind, will my mind disintegrate?"

In a Sober Universe black holes merge.

In a Sober Universe black holes merge.

Do they become blacker holes or just bigger holes?

They need to be joined by a double dild hole

 

[Hoid]

rather than collide they merge

Black Holes Behaving Badly | Space News

Astrophysicists tell us that at the core of 98% of galaxies is a supermassive black hole, a hypothetical “region of spacetime” whose gravitational effects are so colossal that nothing — not even light — can escape. For many years, scientific and educational literature has presented the existence of black holes …

I enjoy this guys lectures, he informs about the difficultys of these theoretical space monsters. And he's funny as hell.
