An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

Scientists have detected gravitational waves from a black hole collision, revealing one with an unexpected mass that challenges existing theories about star death.

Two colossal black holes among the most massive ever seen collided in deep space, creating gravitational waves that rippled across the cosmos and shook the foundations of astrophysical theory.

“It’s the most massive [merger] so far,” says Mark Hannam, a physicist at Cardiff University, UK, and part of the LVK ...
