This discussion centers on the visual phenomena associated with the collision of two non-rotating black holes, specifically under the framework of General Relativity (GR). Participants explore the implications of gravitational effects on light and the merging of event horizons. It is established that as two black holes approach each other, their horizons will merge, but an external observer will not see them cross the event horizon due to the nature of light escaping from black holes. Instead, objects near the event horizon will appear to fade from view as the horizon expands.
PREREQUISITESAstronomers, astrophysicists, and students of physics interested in black hole dynamics, gravitational effects, and observational techniques related to black hole mergers.
Yes of course, because as they say, "publish or perish", and that darned E.H. makes publishing impossible. Therefore, there's only one outcome possible.rootone said:Although if you did fall in, your career as solipsist is guaranteed to end in the near future.
Your 'stalemate' situation is in practice that they end up for a long time in a mutual orbit. just as as the case with normal binary star systems.Sue Rich said:As a layman, I would think the two holes would resist each other. Assuming the are pulling with equal force gravity, I think they would remain in a stale-mate situation until they drifted by each other. If one was stronger, it would simply devour the weaker one.
