hey……can we harness a mini black hole to travel time???.u know….the one which doesnt destroy us before we do tht!?? huh…i am no scientist…jus a high skool student..parden the mistakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…………and…….are there other universes like ours….linked by a white hole???…..

hey pardipta that is really cool.

Ian should write an article about that so that I can understand it better.

Are there also black holes in your mirror ?
What about some mirrors produced by LHC in May ?
Can earth be mirrored away ?

Ian please write an article. Please

From the ancestral time the world space research established on blind theory. We although demand that we have discovered lots of mysteries viz. milk ways, galaxies, nebulas, white drafts, black holes etcs., in real they are creation of space mirror. SPACE MIRROR is the truth and hidden mystery of the space. Since we are unknown about space mirror, our research has diverted from original truth and we have spent lots of time and money behind the false truth.
In short it can not be explain. Therefore it invites to visit http://www.spacemirrormystery.com to know the great truth.

Black holes. Hmmm. It sounds like another one of those theories that has complex numbers at its mathematical foundation. I'm listening, but needless to say I'm skeptical.

Would not the so-called "3-body interactions" cause one BH to fly off with incredible velocity? This aricle is nothing but a big "What if…?"

Hi Ian, thanks for another of these Black hole articles I am loving so much.

But hey, whats wrong with you ?
I miss your bombastic descriptions of what might happen here on planet earth.

Some scary and sensational stuff like earthquakes or blackouts or thunderstorms.

Are you depressive somehow ?

Where is your rhapsodic poetry of mights and woulds that used to give me goose bumps.

Please dont stop it.

Make some nice allegories about roaring monster holes eating matter while farting waves to the dark matter resonance modes of the great attractor's quantum well…….or something.

Your loving fangirl Bellinda

If we want to observe the collision of 3 black hole, we should find a triple star system which has 3 super blue giants having approximate ages (so they could collapse during a short interval of time).

I just wonder what happens to a super cluster of massive stars when they all collapse and become black holes. This chain reaction effect might do something to the Earth.

Oh Dear, Oh Dear!

When I read this I thought this was another April's Fools Joke.

If you consider the true probability of three black holes existing in the one place to collide is about as probable as winning the lottery ten times in a row! The truth is that the gravitational perturbation would prevent this scenario, and in fact only two holes would merge, followed some time later by the third companion. Besides, hasn't anyone ever heard of angular momentum.

Anyway if this ever happened – well you might as well believe in magic!

Note: This is likely one of the worse headline grabbing headline news story I have likely read ! Advise we stick to some form of reality, please….

Haha, interesting how this becomes a religious discussion out of nowhere…

I read a previous article on UT about predicting the outcome of two supermassive black holes colliding.. so wouldn't the result of smaller versions be just the same? One would stay and jet off energy while the other bounces off in some direction?

Wow, 3 of 'em. How about 5? What if 3 were supermassive and 1 was normal and another was small? How many holes could collide at one time? What happens to all that mass and energy. Ha! At least 'ya all many finally see some "gravitrons" or something discernable about "dark/energy/dark matter" God, could this be what generates branes and other dimensions/infinite alternative universes. Maybe find Cleons out there somewhere…

Nothing in the article can be found in the Bible so you folks are merely tools of Satan trying to mislead the people.

Surely you will spend an eternity in Heck, maybe longer.

Quote: Gravitational wave astronomers "need to know what to look for in the data they acquire otherwise it will look like just noise. If you know what to look for you can confirm the existence of gravitational waves. Thatâ€™s why they need all these theoretical predictions."
This reminds me of the Irishman saying "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there".
Simulating what you want to see and then "seeing" it, sounds very suspect to me.

Luckily, these type events are not of this time in history, but in an earlier chaos, I hope.

The greateat tsunami passes thru the deep ocean and would appear another small swell as it passed under your boat. I imagine searching for grav waves would be far more difficult. Of course, the solution may be similar in concept.

They haven;t detected any waves at all after decades of trying. What if they don't exist ?

What is on the other side of the black hole once things are sucked in and what will happen to earth if three black holes collide?

@Essel: I think they can, if the proverbial Butterfly doesn't flap first.

OK, seriously: IF they have high enough amplitude, gravitational waves can definitely trigger something on earth. But I think most of the time local triggers will be much stronger. Unless there are a few black holes about to collide in our backyardâ€¦

Can a gravity wave event within the milky way trigger acoustic waves on earth – earthquakes and tsunamis? If they have high enough amplitude.

I think it can make know what will happens in the future. and we can prepare….for the future
