ok

the asteroid is millions of miles away from earth
the asteroid and satellite were not orbiting earth
the asteroid was not dangerous in any way

so no

Isn't hitting asteroids with a satellite going to create high speed metal shrapnel that will orbit around the planet creating another problem?

indeed, although i don't have a telescope

Oh yes I have a telescope and the moons are cool

I literally saw that last night, can't wait to see it and it's 4 moons!

Gracias

thanks

Sorry i've been so inactive, GREAT JOB DUDE!

you are now famous. you have been ever since your genie forum blew up.

the founder of pmc

The owner of planet Minecraft

yep

If gravitational waves (or gravitational interaction in general) propagate at the speed of light, then our galaxy can be attracted to where there is nothing now.

Alright, thanks!

yeah, that space nerd one is the forum where you can ask your questions, but I'll answer them here

black holes have gravity, just like any other object, so they attract each other. Black holes can collide in the same way planets could. Supermassive black holes like the ones we detected colliding when we first detected gravitational waves rarely meet, and if they do, its usually because the galaxies they're pulling around with them are colliding.

When they collide it does make a larger black hole, yes. The energy is created because these black holes carry with them enormous discs of scorching plasma with the mass of hundreds of stars called accretion discs, which release a lot of energy. When the black holes collide its like a million supernovae happening at once from all the radiation. The energy is created simply because the accretion disc rotates so fast it turns even stars into boiling soup.

Einstein's theory of relativity summed up is: empty space is not static. We used to think space and time were unchanging, like a floor, with all the objects of the universe "sitting" on the floor. Einstein predicted that space was more like a trampoline. Heavy objects bend space itself like how you standing on a trampoline bends it. He also predicted that time, as well as space, also bends around nearby objects, causing time to go slower the closer you are to a bigger object. That's called time dilation. So, under the theory of relativity, space and time (which is combined into one single thing called spacetime) are not static, and can be affected by massive objects

so, that's what gravitational waves are. Since the black holes are so massive, they bend space a lot. And when two black holes orbit ridiculously fast around each other, these ripples in spacetime act like waves, shooting out across the universe at the speed of light. Einstein also predicted black holes to exist, since a black hole, to put it simply, is an infinitely small object that bends spacetime so much it forms a boundary around it that even light can't escape.

I explain how black holes work better on that space nerd forum too, its one of the first replies

hope this answered your questions, and if you have any more, go check out the forum

I didn't see the forum post anywhere (im really bad at looking for things, so thats proabaly why, unless its the one about asking a space nerd anything...) so ima just ask you here! Here are all eight million of my questions! how would two black holes collide? What happens when they do? (Besides making a ton of energy ofc) do they combine to make a larger black hole? How is the energy created? Can you explain Einstein's theory of reletivity in basic words? (I didnt understand how google put it) how does this prove his theory? Sorry if this is too many questions, or they're all stupid.

yeah it's awesome. i'd love to go but i agree, three years is a bit uh, long, at least right now.

oh yeah, colonization of mars is super cool too
the stepping stone to the asteroid belt

personally though I wouldn't go to mars, mainly because it takes 7 months to get there, then you have to stay for two years, and then seven months back

maybe when im old ill spend three years going to mars, but for now probably not

i've been talking about this sort of stuff recently irl since its just so cool. going to the moon would be such an interesting thing and i'd most certainly go if i could afford it at the time, assuming it would be extremely expensive lol.

also, not that this has to do with the moon, but they're planning on sending people over to mars in late 2030s early 2040s iirc? obviously the plans may change, but its still really awesome to think about.

thats ur problem. thats why ibe blocked you

oh please
i care about the false information, not the person
you could be a sheep for all i care, the info is still false, and im still going to argue with it

i heard it during lunch at my school from a random girl

I saw it on pmc’s discord and then went to look up something unrelated and saw it on the news

K, thanks

Also if you have more questions, look at my profile and ask on my guest book, so you don’t have to ask me in random wall posts and forums

it’s at the bottom of my profile and says guest book

lol

I have a surprising amount of free time

plus I like writing science fiction

Oh my GOD. You really do know everything about space.

Same

i don't watch stranger things but this is funny

Sometimes i want to upload video

but screencastify and youtube said “fck u”

I belive you
