Ars Technica has an article about two supermassive black holes discovered in a close orbit:
Seven percent of light speed is already incredibly fast, and these are massive bodies, of billions of sun masses. I really wonder what will happen once their event horizons will begin to overlap.
And, unfortunatley beyond or reach of inspectation, will there be two singularities inside the merged even horizon, or two? Will the event horizon have the shape of a sphere, or will it wobble for a while?
Damnit, I want to watch and learn what happens there. Poor galaxy though, I assume the process will yield enough energy to disrupt the galaxy. Or maybe not?
What do you think about this?
