Two supermassive black holes are already on a collision path and they could collide in 100,000 years from now, according to a new analysis conducted by researchers as Columbia University. Black holes possess very high gravitational force and currently, very little is known about them. Supermassive black holes are even bigger and have more gravitational pull. The two supermassive black holes which could collide in next 100,000 years, have been identified recently. Their collision would produce enormous amount of energy.

The detailed findings of Columbia team have been published in the journal Nature. The prediction of research team suggests that the converging supermassive black holes in the Virgo constellation would collide sooner than what had been earlier predicted.

Astronomers at Columbia University provide additional evidence that a pair of closely orbiting black holes is causing the rhythmic flashes of light coming from quasar PG 1302-102. The time might seem a period too long but in terms of astronomy and space science, it is not a very long period.

The two black holes pair is the closest of other black holes seen yet, said Zoltan Haiman, an astronomer at Columbia. Zoltan added that the collision of this supermassive black hole pair will helps understand the growth rate of black holes and galaxies. Also, it will test the fundamental property of space-time i.e. its ability to carry vibrations, gravitational waves, which are produced during the time of collision.

The research paper said, "By estimating the combined and relative mass of PG 1302-102's black holes, they narrow down the pair's predicted crash time to between 20,000 and 350,000 years from now with a best estimate of 100,000 years. (The predicted crash time by Graham's team was 10,000 to several million years from now with a best estimate of 250,000 years)."

In the recent years, astronomers have discovered more black holes than earlier predicted. The core of our own Milky Way galaxy, contains a supermassive black hole of about 4.3 million solar masses.

i'm afraid i won't be around to experience this.

i'm afraid, very afraid, that earth shall by then rendered too polluted because of me.

The black holes is a sign that the universe is growing and expanding everyday
