    Which is still just a small fraction of the total mass of the black holes

    If it were the electromagnetic force that pulled them together it would be so much more violent and send out deadly gamma rays

      But that will never happen, because electromagnetic forces haven’t learned the power of friendship and co-operation. Gravity always works together, but the other fickle fundamental forces just can’t decide if they are pushing or pulling or whatever.

        yeah you’d need a black hole where every atom is positively charged and one where every atom is negatively charged
