What Could Split a Black Hole in Two?

Automatically curated summary from Universe Today.

According to Universe Today, collisions between black holes have occurred since early cosmic history, generating gravitational waves and massive energetic clashes. Given their immense gravitational pull, splitting a black hole apart has long been considered nearly impossible. However, a European research team has undertaken a theoretical investigation to determine whether any physical force or condition could potentially split a black hole into two distinct entities. The excerpt notes this study without detailing their specific findings or methodology.

Context and limitations

The excerpt outlines a theoretical research prompt by European scientists but provides no details on their methodology, findings, or peer-reviewed evidence regarding whether splitting a black hole is physically achievable.
