What happens when black holes collide?.

The nearest black hole is 1600 light years from us and in the region of the visible from the earth, there are perhaps 100 billion galaxies each one has 100 million stellar-mass black holes in the center ready to devour anything that gets close enough to its event horizon.

But what would happen if all the black holes in the universe collided??

We can't see them and some say they might not exist but we know that something is there from the behavior of stars that orbit this strange phenomenon. Black holes lie at the center of almost every known galaxy some of them are active devouring the galaxies that surround it and some are dormant. The ones that are feeding shoot out of massive jets of ionized matter close to the speed of light. These are the brightest objects in the universe and they are also the largest.

Some black holes are so big that its almost impossible to comprehend their size. The largest one ever found is 17 billion times the size of our sun. Everything in the milky way galaxy including us is orbiting a mostly dormant supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.This massive giant is 4.1 million times the mass of our sun its 26000 light years away from us.

recently a black hole is spotted in space by the Hubble telescope its large bright ring of gas shining through the darkness of space and even more surprising it was moving. For some reason, this black hole is evicted from the center of its galaxy and right now it’s blasting through space at 1300 miles per second about 2000 kilometers per second. what that means is there is a rogue black hole flying through space that is estimated to be 1 billion times more massive than our sun. It would take something massive to push this black hole from the center of its galaxy and into space at such speed another black hole. Blackholes arent usually traveling through space looking for something to eat but we now know that it’s possible that somewhere from space a rogue black hole could be heading towards our galaxy and the collision would be epic on a cosmic scale.

There are so many black holes in the universe that it is impossible to count them and there are even more we have not discovered. IF all the known black holes were to collide together it would be the end of the universe as we know it. Some of these stellar giants would be so massive that they would easily swallow smaller ones and become even larger.
