Do black holes come near each other?

We aren't certain, because 99.9% of what we THINK we know about black holes is theoretical. But the theory says that if two black holes do come too close to each other, they will merge to form one larger one. However, if the geometry of their approach is right, it might be possible for them to orbit each other.

What will happen if two black holes collide each other?

if two black holes collide, they swallow eachother making one giant blackhole


What if two black holes pulled on each other if both the black holes started at the same time?

They would get closer and closer together until they merged.


What would happen if two black hole were to merge into each other?

You would have a black hole the size of the combined mass of the two black holes.


Will there be more or fewer black holes in the future?

about Black HolesLikely their will be fewer and fewer although Larger as time passes. In the current regime of the Unverse, as galaxies merge and collide, Many Black Holes will be attracted to each other and eventually merge together into larger ones. Their will also continue to be newly created black holes as stars will continue to collapse.If the universe continues to expand however these black holes will become more and more distant from each other thereby foiling further mergers. There will be more and they will suck up the entire universe.."shivers" .......im scared........


Is it possible for 2 black holes to collide with each other?

Yes and they would get bigger and gain more mass. So the basically combine into a bigger black hole


Do black holes and quasars both have stars?

Each black hole and each quasar is the remnant of a single extinct star.


How do you find the black hole?

Black holes can not be seen .To see an object,light should fall on the object and then reflect to your eyes but as nothing can escape from a black hole,light is not reflect to your eyes ,that is why they are called BLACK HOLES!!!


Can black holes hit each other?

Yes. It has happened before. There are supermassive black holes, and they got that way in part from combining with other black holes. And just as it has happened before, it will happen again. It is likely happening now somewhere in the universe. A small black hole is circling a very large one near the event horizon. The X-rays and other higher energy electromagnetic radiation created here bathe this volume of space in increasingly more energy. Soon the gravity of the more massive black hole will pluck the smaller one from spacetime and only the larger one will remain. Or two black holes of approximately equal mass are caught in a "waltz" orchestrated by their mutual gravity. They are gliding like two dancers an arm's length apart who are holding onto each other's hands. In a short while they will pull each other closer and embrace, becoming one. The universe holds wonders that could not have even been imagined just a single lifetime ago. What else hides from our view behind a curtain of gas and dust or concealed by a massive star field?


What will happen to the universe 10 duotrigintillion years from now?

Only black holes and subatomic particles remain. The universe has expanded so much that these individual particles may be separated from each other by truly enormous distances. Black holes themselves are now evaporating by Hawking radiation.


Where is outer space's biggest black hole?

The largest black holes are supermassive black holes - the black holes at the center of galaxies. The largest known such black hole has somewhere between 20 and 40 billion times the mass of our Sun. It's hard to know which of the observed black holes is really the largest (i.e., the most massive one), since the mass estimates in each individual case are currently not very accurate.


Is the amount of black holes in the universe relatively increasing and are the consequences of this a new creation big bang?

The amount of black holes are increasing because the fact that stars are dying and being reborn each second.


How do you find a black hole if they are black?

Scientists can easily find black holes because they can see the effects that black holes have on everything around them(stars, planets, dust). Black holes also emit some sort of radio waves that scientists can detect. There are a number of methods which have been proposed to assist in locating black holes. One such method takes into account that a black hole whilst emitting no light will still exhert a gravitional force. Observations have been made in systems of two stars orbiting each other, being attracted by their respective gravitional forces. Other observations have been made where a star appears to orbit an unseen partner. This Unseen partner is BLACK HOLE. A good example of this effect is Cygnus X-1.
