When black holes collide

morreale Tuesday 05 of July, 2011
Kip Thorne describes what happens when two black holes collide in this short video. Simulations are used to understand the gravity wave signatures of different configuration of black hole collisions. The signatures are to be used to interpret the output from the gravitational wave detectors like LIGO.
