Quick Post: Black Hole Cannibalism

       If two black holes were to be caught together within distance in which they would collide, the two would not eat each other. Or even repel at all for that matter. The two black holes would collide causing one, larger, denser black hole.

       Many would say that the pictures falsely resemble the  situation, that, if this were to occur, the holes wouldn't be bright, but dark, massive spheres. The fact is quite the contrary; the black holes would be the brightest thing around! Sucking all the photons from the stars around it, the star material would be in a whirlpool around the black hole, creating something so bright, it would outshine all stars around it, until all the evidence was gone. 

        Observing this pictures makes think. What if life was produced in the location of these collisions? What if that was us. 

What if?
