When someone makes a good cake, It doesn't mean he is good cook, It is just a man who baked the cake well. The same applies on the question. Just one good question ...
This photo set is only of the introductory lead, not the entire conversation. He did answer the question, which is yes, black holes will consume even each other.
@yukihaki: that is incorrect. Black holes will consume anything and everything that is unfortunate enough to stray close enough to be caught in the gravitational pull. Unless it manages to somehow find a stable orbit... but that is a strange and unusual circumstance.
The gravity (or suction) of a black hole is so great it will rip the very atoms that make up your body apart. No "normal" planet is remotely close to that strong. In fact, nothing in the known or respected theoretical universe is as powerful as a black hole. Not even light can escape it's suction.

Yes but for example if our sun suddenly became a black hole the rotation of our planet and the others won't be affected we will die anyway but blackhole just don't go around kirbying things out of nowhere it has to be at close range
(And apparently now black holes don't destroy things when they suck em up but stock em Hawkins said)
@yukihaki, you are correct in your last comment but your are incorrect about not sucking up everything, a black hole can and will "suck up" ANYTHING that has strayed past the event horizon, it will then result in "Spaghettification" where the matter will be elongated until the atoms themselves are ripped apart, anything past the event horizon will enter into the Black Hole, there are no exceptions to this as of now, as light cannot even escape from Black Holes, meaning that even if an object was going at the speed of light it wouldn't be able to escape, and since we have not found anything Faster than Light, it currently means that Everything and Anything that has ventured past the Event Horizon will be consumed by the Black Hole.
@yukihaki, Sorry but no. The gravity of black holes will consume everything from planetary systems and vast nebulae to subatomic particles and everything in between.
The math even shows that not only do black holes warp spacetime around them, they also drag it along with them as they spin, link a twisted and pinched knot of spacetime.
They ALSO stretch and pull spacetime inward... such that even if you could travel faster than lightspeed, it wouldn't matter anyway because the space you are traveling in is being pulled in faster than you can travel... like trying to run uphill on a treadmill that is sliding downhill.

Damn ok that was old as fuck, you're right on that
I remember in second grade my I asked my dad something about the stars and he told me everything about the universe,how it was infinite,how there were other planets and stuff.That really changed me.I wanted to be a scientist back then.
Now I've turned to the arts side,more specifically drawing and writing.I am still fascinated by all the worlds' secrets,but,unfortunately,I am terribly weak at maths.
You don't have to be "classically trained" to be a scientist... everyone with a skeptical mind is one.
Here's a thought, with the right subject matter experts for a given field you can help them communicate their particular field of science through your art and writing.
Just because he asked a question doesn't mean he could do it. I could ask an extremely complicated question and that doesn't mean I have the intelligence to comprehend the answer
I was asking questions like this in 2nd grade. And I'm sure I didn't belong in the 12th grade. And now I know that yes, it can happen, but not much is known about it. It did create huge gravitational waves.

Also, what's with some people's issue with the beginning of Neil's response??? He's trying to encourage the kid and stoke the fires of interest in learning in him. You know, that thing teachers/parents/rolemodels are SUPPOSED to do.
