Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the phenomena associated with the collision of black holes, including their merging process, the fate of light in black holes, and the concept of black holes potentially ending through mechanisms like Hawking radiation. The scope includes theoretical considerations and speculative ideas about black hole behavior.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants propose that when two black holes collide, they merge to form a larger black hole.
  • Questions are raised about whether black holes ever end and the implications of light within them, suggesting it might be bright at their centers.
  • A participant theorizes that light may "stop" or cease to exist when interacting with a black hole, based on a personal interpretation of energy and mass.
  • Another participant clarifies that light has momentum and energy but not mass, referencing its properties without endorsing the personal theory presented.
  • It is mentioned that black holes can eventually end due to Hawking radiation, a process linked to quantum effects.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the nature of light in black holes and the validity of personal theories. While there is some agreement on the merging of black holes and the concept of Hawking radiation, the discussion remains unresolved regarding the fate of light and the implications of personal theories.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes speculative ideas and personal theories that are not universally accepted or validated within the scientific community. There are also references to concepts that may require further clarification or context, such as the mechanics of Hawking radiation and the properties of light in relation to black holes.

what happens when to black hole crash into each other?

They merge and make one bigger black hole.
 
do black holes ever end, or do they just keep sucking everything in?
and in what happens all that light in a black hole? it must be very bright in the center of a black hole

in theory light goes fast when it comes into contact with a black hole, E=C x C2
but if light don't have a mass E=0xC2 then light should just "stop" of cease to exist

but that's just my theory

We don't allow personal theories on our science forums. There's a procedure for getting them posted on a special forum. Light has momentum and energy, but not mass. Its momentum is p = h\nu, where nu is the frequency and h is Planck's constant, and its energy is pc.
 
To answer your second question, black holes do eventually end due to a process called Hawking radiation (Radiation emitted from a black hole due to quantum effects).
