Phil PlaitHey, if you want your mind absolutely crushed into dust today then read my article at Scientific American about how much energy is released when two supermassive black holes collide. To borrow from Douglas Adams, it's the best bang since the big one.

Raven Luni@badastro Interesting. What effect (if any) would this have on the nearby stars in a galaxy collision?

Margret Kuarell@badastro There is coffee in that nebula ... i mean: black hole
Marcial 🇨🇷🇻🇪@badastro “I remember when I first sat down and calculated this myself. The answer I got for the torrential gravitational waves spawned by a stellar-mass black hole collision was a number that was so immense that I thought I’d made a mistake.”
There’s a certain romance in someone sitting down and manually confirming the absolute immensity and incomprehensibility of the cosmos, lifting the veil themselves. I’m jealous of your ability to do so; fantastic write-up!
