Miracle! You can be witness to first-ever seen supermassive black hole merger soon

[ad_1] As it is, finding a supermassive black hole in itself is a big challenge. It is the most elusive celestial body as it is nearly impossible to directly see them. This is mainly because a black hole consumes everything in its vicinity, including light. That's why it was an incredibly rare discovery when it was found that two supermassive black holes were going to collide and merge. No one on Earth has ever seen such an event, let alone collect data from it. And now, we have a chance to not only observe the merger of black holes, but also find out some secrets about the universe we never knew existed.According to a study published in arXiv titled ‘Tick-Tock: The Imminent Merger of a Supermassive Black Hole Binary', a group of researchers have found that two supermassive black holes...

Wow! Black hole collision just proved this Albert Einstein theory right

[ad_1] An enormous black hole collision showing extreme signs of wobbling has confirmed a phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein. A pair of black holes wobbling 3 times per second as they merged has confirmed a gravitational phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein a century ago. The phenomenon also known as precession is similar to the wobbling motion that takes place when two ancient black holes collide together and merge into one. Gravity-induced orbital precession or wobbling is a consequence of general relativity's prediction about how gravity affects the fabric of space-time. This effect had been observed very weakly in neutron stars orbiting one another. According to the study published in Nature magazine, Mark Hannam at Cardiff University, UK, and his colleagues have seen a...
