What would happen if you had two black holes close to each other?

The human species can adapt to any environmental change. We may lose a lot of our numbers in a change, but we can adapt to any change that doesn't happen extremely quickly. We have the ability to survice nuclear war as well - just in really small numbers in various government bomb shelter, submerged submarines, etc.
The only things that we can't survive in the list provided are: black hole, large enough asteroid, and alien civilization that intends to eat/kill us all.
Of those the probability of black hole is too small, hostile civilization is pretty small, but large enough asteroid is pretty big. However given that out ability to deal with asteroids increases over time I'll say asteroid for the next 200 years, then alien civilization.
The disease one is high on the likely scale, but human beings generally have the ability to deal with these sorts of things and we likely wouldn't get wiped out by them. Same goes for zombie outbreak

Naturally they would breed prodigiously, no? There would be much time and little to do heh, heh. We would probably need a ratio of, say, 10 females to each male. . . .
Since each man will be required to do prodigious service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics, which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature. . . .
I have a plan . . . MEIN FUHRER, I CAN WALK!

White Man, I consider you one of the best posters of the OT, but after reading about the runaway greenshouse theory on the website you just posted I hate you so fucking much. May your balls be forever blue and swollen for scaring my easily impressionable mind =/

hell, our generation already thinks we're idiots for destroying the environment.RonaldoSan said:
I say robots because Hollywood told me so.
Well for one thing, are we talking about wiping out human society, or complete extinction?
I'd say if there's a destruction of human society in the somewhat near future, my guess is it'd be caused by nuclear annihalation. We escaped it by a hair just a few decades ago by sheer luck; no reason it can't happen again.

I know a few Biologists and researchers that think there will be a new black death in the near feature after crunching some numbers. Such an event will not destroy humanity just trim the population.
