explain me quantum foam

please explain quantum foam to me, if anyone knows anything
about it. all google comes up with is either pdf's with
moronic equations or sf authors on an ego trip.

i want to understand it.

oh and: one very important tought

slightly off topic but what happens when one black hole
meets another?

yeah i think they melt together. the new product will have
the mass of the 2 combined, and the impulse (and rotation)
of the two combined as well...

thats a much more sencible awnser than i expected :)

but seriously they both work on implosion (roughly) so how
can one pull the other in?

Myself, I am highly interested in gravitational singularity,
black holes, schwarzschild radii and all that kind of stuff.

i know nothing about it! i see it as 2 miniscule .. points
in space with a huge mass that move towards eachother.

blue is the event horizon.

Just looked it up. It is indeed so that if 2 black holes
collide they kind of "spiral" into each other to form one
bigger black hole.

they think that thier mass just adds together to
create a much larger black whole... like if a black whole
sucked in a large planet or star. a blackhole grows every
time it sucks in any piece of matter, whether it's a grain
of dust, neutron star, or another black hole. a planet and
a black hole are both really just objects with mass. both
work on 'implosion', it's just that one is strong enough to
keep light from escaping it's gravity.

also, when two black holes collide, they think massive
gravity waves may be created that could destroy nearby
(read: millions of light years) objects.

millions? galaxies are on the scale of 100,000 light years
accross, i don't think it would 'annhialate' a galaxy, let
alone 10 put together.

Isn't a singularity at the center of a black hole? Isn't a
singularity infinite mass in zero volume? I don't understand
how black holes can vary in gravatitional pull if this is
correct.

its a finite amount of mass in an infinite small space.

if the mass were infinite, the universe would collapse into
one single point, exept for areas with a relative velocity >

I think gravitational singularity is like an asymptote, with
infinitely increasing mass and gravity and infinitely
decreasing volume, which.

i read that because of how a blackhole warps light, when you
approach one and get somewhat close the event horizon would
appear to engulf you even though you weren't inside it.

like, all of the starlight would just appear as a bright
ring directly above you (and away from the blackhole)... all
other light that was coming to you from an angle would be
getting sucked into the black hole.

pretty neat.

If you're that close, wouldn't the variation in gravity
between your feet and head tear you in half?

youd die before even hitting the event horizon due to the
high energy photons it emits / (rotating) gravity fields
crushing you

Also at the right point, maybe right on the event horizon,
the light would be in orbit around the black hole, so you
could look forward and see the back of your head! azmzing!
