MFT: Two Black Holes Merge into One



This is beautiful. In this video you can witness a simulation of two black holes merging together. Such thing is fun to think about in your spare time and even more entertaining to watch once in a while.

The video depicts the process of two black holes colliding into the space of one another, circling around each other, warping the stars around them due to its extremely strong gravity, gradually locking up and colliding and then coalesce into one big black hole.

The simulation was generated by Simulating Extreme Spacetimes project based on an event detected by Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. The story goes - there were gravitational waves in space and time - it happened approximately 1,3 billion years ago. The simulation shows how this event would look like through human eyes.

What it makes this video so special is that it is an approximate imagining of how this thing turned out as no one actually witnessed it.

And since this is only a modeling based on an Einstein's theory - this makes this video and the concept behind it a fine example of an extreme abstract conceptual art - so much beyond our experiental reach it is stuck in the realm of speculative fact-based imagination.

But that is that if you know what it is supposed to represent.

If you are watching this short video out of context for whatever reason - it seems like a very different thing.

  • For once, it looks like nostrils juggling before transforming into a singual cyclopian nostril. 
  • Or it can be a macabre variation of cue sports with gravitional shenanigans where two cue balls that are initially solid gain momentum and gradually turn into a jelly-like singular substance. 
  • Or it can be a cheap and unimaginitive black light show.
