I am sure this must have been asked before but here goes. If two black holes were on a collision course with each other or would pass close to each other. Would the smaller one get pulled into the bigger one?

Hi HallsofIvy The stadium I am sitting in, is in space and there is nothing else around that could have a gravitational effect. That is a bit like me standing by the side of an athletic track and getting out of breath just as much as the runners going round the track. Anyhow, I was...

So that was half right and half wrong. When my stopwatch reads one minute Tac-Tics will read less then one minute and when his reads one minute, mine will read more then one minute. What each others stopwatches read when ours reads one minute, can be worked out by using the Lorentzian Factor...

Hi Tac-Tics That is a much better example then mine. I have tried to read a bit about Special Relativity (SR) but most of it is beyond me. I have cut and pasted the next two paragraphs. If, on a windy day, an observer was placed midway between two firecrackers and heard them at the same time...

Hi Mentz114 Thank you for your answer but I already new that. So the question still needs to be answered. Let me rephrase it. The light leaving the car must be traveling at the speed of light plus the speed of the car (100 mph). Ie. 2+6=8 However, if the person on the side of the road...

I keep reading that no object can travel faster then the speed of light and that the speed of light is constant. If I am traveling along a road at 100mph and I switch on my headlights, the light would leave my car at the speed of light. However, to a person standing on the side of the road...

I was watching a program some months ago about the Universe and what shape it could be. In the program they used the Atari Asteroids game as an example. As the spaceship starts to go off the right hand side of the screen it starts to appear on the left hand side. As the spaceship starts to go...
