Collision of gravitational waves can destroy Earth and Universe

Physicists say that probably our planet Earth will be absorbed by a black hole.

The question of what the end of the world would be, was always interesting to people. Physicists also say that, probably, our planet Earth will be absorbed by a black hole, which will arise from the fault of the gravitational wave monsters.

Newsweek writes about it, adding that such waves are invisible ripples in space, moving at a speed of light. The most powerful ones arise when objects move very fast. For example, when two large stars rotate one around one or two black holes merge into one. The gravitational waves for example illustrations are often compared to those on the water that occur when you throw a stone. However, if a particle or object moves at a speed of light, flat gravitational waves may appear.

The question is what will happen if they come across. Scientists at Princeton University and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario, to answer this question, turn to the general theory of relativity of Albert Einstein.

In their opinion, if the waves are large enough, then their collision can create a black hole, that is, space in space with such a strong gravitational field that even the light will not be able to escape from it. Physicists are convinced that such wave-monsters can be powerful enough to knock down the time space. And so there will be a gigantic black hole that will absorb up to 85 percent of the energy of waves. And some residual ripples will continue to rotate around it forever.

These particles have a lot of energy and distortions in time and space. And when the waves collide, these distortions are superimposed on one another. So time and space seem to suck themselves into a black hole, said Professor of Physics at Princeton University, France Pretorius.

However, according to professor of physics at the University of Oakland in Michigan, David Garmichnock, nothing known today in the universe is incapable of creating flat waves that can form a black hole.
