Really interesting article about two huge black holes colliding. The ripples it created in space affected us here on earth. What they don't address in this article is the speculation that these ripples might have changed our reality ever so slightly. What do you think?

Sort:  

Wouldn't they have cancelled each other out? I mean nothing is supposed to survive a blackhole so they should have eaten each other up and left nothing.

I guess not. The article said they merged and became one super black hole. They give a brief summery of the physics of it.

Black holes are science fiction.
