“Roses are red. Violets are blue. Your event horizon means I can’t see you!” As that ugly verse shows, black holes aren’t exactly conducive to romantic imagery on Valentine’s Day. However, a new simulation revealed just in time for Feb. 14 shows how dancing black holes can “vibe” with one another, forming a cosmic love story that is literally written in the stars.

This research runs contrary to previous theories that suggested before they meet and merge, black holes each have their own spins that are random and chaotic.

“This discovery challenges the common belief that black holes formed in star clusters always have randomly distributed spins,” team leader and Northwestern University researcher Fulya Kıroğl said in a statement.

How do black holes recreate the most famous scene from Lady and the Tramp?

This team, led by Northwestern University researcher Fulya Kıroğlu, found that as black holes are drawn together across a cosmic dance floor, they encounter massive stars.

The immense gravity of the black holes generates tidal forces squashing and stretching these stars in a process called “spaghettification.” The black holes then slurp down these noodles of stellar pasta in a scene that may summon images of the famous spaghetti-eating scene in “Lady and the Tramp.”

But this is more than just a romantic cosmic meal. The mass gathered by the black holes increases their gravitational influence. This realigns the spin of the black holes, ringing them into sync.

“When a massive star is torn apart by a binary black hole, it creates two separate streams of debris, each spiraling around one of the black holes,” Kıroğl said. “Initially, the direction of these spinning debris clouds is random. However, as the black holes get closer, powerful tidal forces begin to realign these clouds, gradually influencing the spin direction of the black holes themselves.”

If this wasn’t already faux-romantic enough, the above simulation shows that as the black holes draw together, streams of material from their stellar meals wrap around them, forming an iconic Valentine’s Day heart.

“Over time, this process leads to black hole mergers with a slight but consistent alignment of their spins — something that had been seen in gravitational wave signals from merging binary black holes detected by LIGO/Virgo but had not been fully understood until now,” Kıroğl continued.

The team’s research has been accepted for publication by The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
