   Do black holes have Roche limits?   
   What if two black holes of equal mass approach each other?   
   Could they rip each other appart? And how so as nothing is   
   supposedly allowed to leave the "event horizon" once it enters.

   How does the grav field look like if two fluid bodies (like gas giants)   
   would approach each other? I mean they would not tear each other   
   appart but rather "flow" towards each other, right?   
      
   Maybe even forming a 3rd body at their new unified center of gravity?   
      
   Also is there a computer (PD) program for multiple stellar body grav   
   simulations?
