Massimo @Rainmaker1973 The first direct observation of gravitational waves captured the merging of two black holes which emitted 36 septillion yottawatts of power (3.6×10⁴⁹ watts), greater than the combined power of all light radiated by all the stars in the observable universe.

The simulation seems to be clearly flawed. Two black holes orbiting each other would necessarily need to be doing so at an enormous rate of speed to match the enormous mass of the 2 bodies. I.e. some thousands of revolutions per second or whatever. Of course, combine that with the fact that time slows down as you approach a black hole and that distorts the meaning of "speed" as speed has a time element in it.
