you know i find it extremely funny how all of the scietific community is willing to put a cap on size in relation to objects including black holes. the idea of an object that is a voied swallowing other mass should tell you that it is not subject to the precieved limits placed on it by man. you know they used to teach that . now the scietific community is nothing but closed minds and no imagination it is no shock they have not advanced humanity in decades as a whole. where once stood a collection of minds that created countless things now sits a room of people simply hording information and passing opinion as rules.

I always thought that the expansion of the universe is a reaction to more and more matter coming together to form larger black holes. The black holes push down and stretch space time and Without spacetime being able to bend further that stress ripples out causing space to expand. Like the harder you push on a ballon the more the air inside the ballon gets moved and causes stretching along the edges in response to pressure. I also thought it explains why galaxies don't come apart and dark matter.

The natural pitch of these mergers sounds like a bubble popping, which is both mystifying and terrifying that such masses can merge so quickly and carelessly.

[@will2see]

1:13 "...is so massive, it shouldn't exist in the first place." - No, this is a bad interpretation! Black holes can exist in a continuum of masses. Theoretically, there is nothing that can prevent a black hole to gain ANY mass. [Sure I am not talking about the Planck mass or smaller.] But astrophysical black holes are born in a specific mass range. So there is a big difference between saying that they shouldn't exist within this mass range and that they should not be born within this mass range.

[@vitamin..e]

Launch Pad Astronomy: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... Me: Hey I've seen this one

[@tweldy]

I'm starting to think the 'inside' of a black hole - what lies beyond the event horizon is no space at all. That is, the distance between the event horizon and the singularity is nothing. That way when two singularities merge, it is instantaneous. That is to say there is no 'inside' the black hole collision. When two event horizons touch, a greater mass singularity has already formed, without any passage of time. Thus, crossing the event horizon of a black hole, even a supermassive one with minimal tidal forces is the same thing as becoming part of a singularity, there is no 'space' inside the black hole.

[@ScullyPop]

This is totally mind blowing.

[@elvest9]

What a great video. I accidentally found it via youtube recommendations.

[@nom6758]

I think the one thing you should have specified more in this video is HOW black-holes can vibrate, what the wording means (if the vibration in this case is a completely different physical phenomon than what we know). To me this seems completely unrealistic, as we have all seen when a spinning coin tilts and is about to completely stop its movement, it increases the speed it contacts the table exponentially. How are we sure this same thing isnt happening here, just the black holes getting so close together that their movements are so fast it reaches a level of "vibration" before they actually merge. We went from blackholes spinning inwards towards eachother to vibrating, when it could just be the blackhole mass spinning around a point, smaller than a proton, at near the speed of light before they merge.

[@redtreemouse]

Christian Ready said that when black holes merge they “ring like a bell” at the end of the merge/orbiting process. Wouldn’t the gravitational waves from that”ringing” tell us something about the structure and density of the stuff making up the black hole?

[@LightStrikerQc]

I don't understand how black holes even manage to "merge" as space-time is stretched to the point where time is on a standstill near them.

[@Superstorm50]

[@MaxBrix]

[@jamesrussell7760]

I noticed that when the 85 and 66 solar mass black holes merged to produce a single black hole of 142 solar mass, 9 solar mass was unaccounted for. By that, I conclude that the energy equivalent of 9 solar masses went into creating the gravitational waves. Correct? Yep, I should have waited a few minutes cause you answered my question.

[@thewizardtk]

Wait so those “blips” are the gravitational waves at the moment of collision? That’s so cool

[@SaAshutosh15]

Hence proved these black holes actually work similar to the formation of planets or just the opposite where smaller blackholes merge with a bigger one while the smaller one gets caught up in the gravitational pull of the bigger black hole and it causes them to rotate just like satellites

[@dankuchar6821]

Yes they do orbit each other for a while. A very long time! But eventually, it may take a billion years, but eventually they will radiate energy through gravitational waves and most likely merge with each other. But it can take a very very very long time!
