I'd like to see that math.  Should be relatively simple geometry, or trig. Two event horizons intersecting.  Two black holes rapidly approaching each other and eventually colliding - you might not get sucked into either black hole right away, but you won't be able to pull away from the intersecting event horizons either.  You will be stuck there until the masses finish colliding and then you'd be finished.

well i have skimmed it before but it involves a lot of advanced physics stuff I am just not familiar with. No, it is not simple. I couldnt find it on an immediate google search but here is related content: https://phys.org/news/2021-11-apparent- ... holes.html

here is the salient sentence: " when binary black holes merge, apparent horizons vanish by merging with other horizon-like structures." ...thus theoretically you could enter then escape an event horizon.

this could be the secret to the formation of quasars, and would explain their odd jet stream (a quasar could simply be the result of merging supermassive black holes, and the collapse of the event horizon causes the mass to be ejected out of the poles)

the interesting thing is that it involves some paradoxes. like...according to some einstein equations the fact you could escape event horizons means you experience negative time....so the equation itself suggests that this could be a way to travel backward in time...although i would suggest this is a philosophical impossibility
