found this on reddit twatter, followed it to hotHardware and decided to get a more scientific view.

Two black holes locked in cosmic dance near galaxy's center are doomed to crash

Once the pair collide in 10,000 years, the ripple effects will be visible across the universe.

All I can say is WE"RE ALL DOOMED!!

This should provide future scientists more data about compressing Space-time on a cosmic scale...

This kind of thing probably happens all the time, gravity isn't going to shred Earth down to the molecules and probably won't even be noticed except via specialized instrumentation, but 10,000 years is a long time for a species like humans, we could be super evolved mentally with telekinetic powers or devolve back into cave people after a horrible nuclear apocalypse.

Everytime black hole is found something new happens somewhere in science or space, a new thoery, a new find, or even new never seen before images.

They will just eventually join the supermassive black hole already at the center of our galaxy. Every galaxy has one.

All of this changed on September 14, 2015, when LIGO physically sensed the undulations in spacetime caused by gravitational waves generated by two colliding black holes 1.3 billion light-years away. LIGO's discovery will go down in history as one of humanity's greatest scientific achievements.

Probably this, for such intelligent species we are very dumb in some ways.
