Thread Name: BS: Black holes collide
Subject: RE: BS: Black holes collide
What intrigues me is this:
-- Those black holes are 400 million lightyears away. -- They appear to be 100 million years from collision. -- That means the collision already happened... 300 million years ago.
Se we're not going to see anything happen. But what about that "gravitational ripple" effect? Would that spread at the speed of light? Faster? Slower?
