Can a Black Hole Collide with a Newly Formed Supernova Black Hole?

AI Thread Summary
A black hole can theoretically collide with a newly formed supernova black hole if the timing aligns perfectly. If this occurs, the two black holes would merge into a larger black hole due to their gravitational attraction. The process of merging black holes is a significant area of study in astrophysics, as it can lead to the release of gravitational waves. Understanding these interactions helps scientists learn more about the nature of black holes and the dynamics of the universe. Such events are rare but could provide valuable insights into cosmic phenomena.

Hello,

This is a question that I've been contemplating for the last few days. I was watching a video about black holes & supernova, and I am wondering what would happen if a black hole were to reach a star at the exact moment that it "turned into" a supernova?

What would happen if that supernova turned into a black hole and the two black holes collided? Would it form one large black hole?

Thanks

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
