Black Hole, gravitational wave detectors and Massive
Digest more
Gravitational-wave detectors have captured their biggest spectacle yet: two gargantuan, rapidly spinning black holes likely forged by earlier smash-ups fused into a 225-solar-mass titan, GW231123. The record-setting blast strains both the sensitivity of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA and the boundaries of stellar-evolution theory,
India is building the third LIGO detector, thus completing the triad with the two existing US-based observatories.

IFLScience on MSNGravitational Wave Detected From Largest Black Hole Merger Yet: "It Presents A Real Challenge To Our Understanding Of Black Hole Formation"A physics conference has received a report of the gravitational wave from the heaviest pair of black holes we’ve so far observed merging. The result is larger than theoretical models allow through straight-forward means,
