Can black holes even collide? I guess their horizons can merge somehow... Probably a spectacular show.

I love to contemplate galactic-scale synchrotrons that accelerate supermassive charged black holes to collide at relativistic speeds. The thought never really goes anywhere, but I'm sure it'd be a spectacle to behold.

  • It would be just about the only way we could get the data required to resolve the contradictions between the Standard Model and general relativity. The unification energy is simply stupendous.
