Basically, my question is the title. If a black hole crosses the Roche limit of another black hole, what happens?

For a hypothetical example, let’s say you have a two black holes: one at 5 solar masses and one at 300 solar masses. If the smaller black hole crosses the Roche limit of the larger what happens? Does they simply merge? Would the event horizon of one or both black hole’s be geometrically distorted in some way or retain their spherical shape?

    There is probably a way to bookmark it in the app you use.

      I tend to not use apps since there’s a perfectly fucking fine working web browser that does the same shit as an app, but also happens to not track my telemetry including the frequency of my shits daily that most apps do nowadays.
