What would happen if two black holes where to meet in space and collide?

if there was one black hole anywere in the universe the whole universe would be pulled into it due to the gravatatioal pull. they could not 'colide' as they cannot move they are theorised to be made when a giant star dies, it will everntal become either a white dwarf of a black whole.

at leat this is what i got told by my science teacher

My eyes never actually touch!

bigger black hoe

They would merge and form a bigger more massive black hole.

They would absorb each other to form a new black hole with the total mass of the other two, individual black holes. It'd also create send some pretty interesting radiation signatures and gravitational wave effects as well.

They would vanish up each others ....

Be the largest insurance claim in history.

nothing that spectacular. they would just make a bigger black hole. we couldn't see it so we have no idea what its really like. but a bigger black hole is the end result.

Two black holes drifting toward each other would likely begin to orbit each other at ever increasing speeds, and emit powerful bursts of x-rays that might resemble an x-ray version of a quasar or a pulsar. Eventually they might collapse in on each other to form a single more massive black hole.

Would you get bits of black holes spread out over 20 square km? like when 2 cars collide head on.

Perhaps they would pass through each other and continue on their own merry ways.

the bigger one would suck up the smaller one

that would suck... gravity, wise, that is.

Black holes suck everything in so I think that if they were to collide in space that they would suck each other in and explode possibly causing another Big Bang?

a bigger black hole

Theoretically not much, they would just merge and the combined mass would suck more things in.

well, theoretically this happens quite often. Basically, they merge into one big black hole. that's it ,really

they would merge and produce a gamma ray burst the most power full event since the BB

Claire dont listen to anyone..
no one knows...your guess is as good as any scientist's...
As a mater of fact there is no eveidence of any black hole in any galaxy anyway...
