Default Interesting Arctical - black holes to collide

checkout this article on CNN.com http://cnn.looksmart.com/og/pr=FastSitesCustom;tc=;pc=15;ro=1;rc=222;pi=zch|http://cnn.com/2002/TECH/space/11/19/blackhole.merger.ap/index.html
although the two black holes wont actually collide for a couple hundred million years, I thought it was interesting how the gravitational shock from the collision will change the distance from one point to another sligtly in the universe

they would probbly pass right through eachother, same as when galaxies collide.

Actually, they will collapse into each other due to their insane density. Theres a ton of info on this subject at www.nasa.gov if you are interested.

They would have to be on a very close course to not get sucked into each other's orbit (or pass by with altered direction.)

Still, theoretically if they pass by close enough then they will merge into a single, more massive, black hole. The same thing can happen with stars.

They will be a massive black hole but only for a while.
