Black holes fascinate, defy and sometimes rewrite the laws of physics. An international dastrophysicist team has just highlighted two out-of-standard cosmic events: fusions of black holes whose protagonists would not be "ordinary" objects, but survivors of a previous collision. In other words, black holes [...]
Rare ‘Second-Generation’ Black Holes Detected, Proving Einstein Right Again
Scientists have detected two unusual black hole mergers showing signs of “second-generation” origins — meaning each large black hole likely formed from an earlier merger. The gravitational-wave signals also matched Einstein’s predictions on spinning black holes, offering fresh proof of general relativity and new insights into how black holes grow in crowded star systems.
Two unique black hole mergers have opened a new chapter in our understanding of the universe, as a black hole spinning backwards has been observed for the first time.
