Q.3 What is "happening" at the point of contact and subsequent merging of the event horizons in the case of two black holes colliding and forming a single black hole? How do we geometrically and mathematically describe the event horizons of the two black holes as they touch and combine? Do special contact and intersection points form? If so, what happens at these points
