Imagine two black holes of similar proportions that were exactly far enough away from each other that their gravitational horizons were barely integrating. In theory, what could be the results of such an occurance?

There'd be lots of gravitational waves. There's a nice animation at the link

I think they would begin to orbit around one another as they moved closer together creating unimaginably huge gravimetric waves ripping out into the universe that would crush anything they touched at nearly the speed of light in a vast region of space until finally their event horizons collide in a cataclysmic eruption of time and space remarkably like the infamous "big bang" which may have started our universe, but hey thats just me.

They would merge to form a larger black hole. One is in the process right now. All galaxies have a giant, real massive black hole in the center. Our galaxy is one of them. Soon the Milky Way will crash into the Adromeda galaxy and a bigger galaxy will form, including a much more massive black hole. But this won't happen until the next few billion years. Our black hole is currently dormant now.

I don't know the correct answer but I am guessing:
The one with the weaker gravataional pull would be pulled into the other, more powerful black hole. It would be a very low and practically rare chance of them being the exact same!!

Theoretically, it would form a wormhole, through which objects might be able to pass great distances across the galaxy in relatively short time. It's all theory, though.

i think then its called a worm hole because if you think about it if 2 black hole is facing together from a distance Mir maybe any range it makes a tube in 3d doesn't it

you might be able to get a laser to take a really funny path around both event horizons.

suck the life out of each other?
or maybe join and form one massive black hole?
just guesses, i have no clue...but it was an interesting question

Ask Stephen Hawking (or look up his books and read them) he would probably know. As for me, i don't know but that is an amazing question.

you could no longer differentiate between them - and this answer belongs in the maths section.
