if black hole crash they unite to one b.h
here, how can this two crash??
universe has a lot of dimension so
i think it is hard to
and when they crash, crash with only singularity??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
universe has a lot of dimension so
The universe has 3 spatial and 1 time dimensions, for a total of 4. There might be additional dimensions, but they don't play a role in black hole merging.

Black holes can merge, if they come very close to each other. They become a single, bigger black hole in this case.

one more..
when they collide they collide with singularity or in the event horizon??
 
The event horizons merge. The singularities probably collide/merge afterwards, too, but that cannot be observed from the outside.

gravitational attraction brings black holes together just the same as it brings cosmic dust together to form stars, planets, and black holes themselves...
