I take your point, but if at the heart of each BH is a singularity in which gravity is infinite, then even breaking out your calculator will not prevent collision.
Orac, I think you missed the point of this post, which was simply to suggest to Paul that our amateur “calculations” might not always be sufficient to see the whole picture.
Recall that I also said:
You will probably recall from previous discussions that I have serious misgivings about singularities, or any scenario in which anything can become infinite. However, my scientific knowledge is limited, so I try to keep an open mind.
I think this indicates that I am not arguing in favour of misplaced singularities. Quite a long time ago you gave a very informative explanation of different kinds of singularity. I’m sure I have it somewhere in my notes, but can’t find it at the moment.
