article_snippet.sent: A first-of-its-kind 3D simulation has revealed what happens when two supermassive black holes dramatically collide in a disk.
article_snippet.sent: And A first-of-its-kind 3D simulation is particularly interesting, because recent observations show two such black holes are going to collide in just seven years - so the prediction can be tested in real life.
article_snippet.sent: University of Illinois Illinois scientists have created the first 3D simulation of merging black holes (shown) in a disk.
article_snippet.sent: It shows what happens when two supermassive black holes collide .
article_snippet.sent: the first 3D simulation of merging black holes (shown) in a disk was led by scientists at the University of Illinois and included Dr Roman Gold, Dr Vasileios Paschalidis, Dr Stuart Shapiro, Dr Milton Ruiz, Dr Zachariah Etienne, and Dr Harald Pfeiffer.
article_snippet.sent: To make the first 3D simulation of merging black holes (shown) in a disk, University of Illinois scientists used Einstein’s general theory of relativity coupled with equations that govern how matter moves near the speed of light in a magnetic field.
article_snippet.sent: In the simulations, the processes taking place as the two black holes merge is shown.
article_snippet.sent: This first simulation shows the gas and magnetic fields as the two supermassive black holes collide .
article_snippet.sent: This first simulation takes on added significance because, just the other day, This first simulation was revealed that two black holes 10.4 billion light years away are likely to collide in seven years.
