The massive black hole has been dubbed GW231123. Its unusual size and behavior is challenging scientists' understanding of ...

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.

The merger resulted in a combined black hole 225 times our sun’s mass, and challenges current astrophysical models of black hole formation.

Scientists say the two black holes merged after colliding at speeds near the limit allowed by Albert Einstein’s theory of ...

The researchers are members of the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA (LVK) collaboration, a global network of scientists detecting ...

Even if the team's black hole concept were verified, it likely wouldn't halt the search for a valid model of quantum gravity and a theory of everything. "In some sense, this is a problem that ...

To date, the collaboration has detected dozens of merger events since its first Nobel Prize-winning discovery. Early detected mergers involved either two black holes or two neutron stars. In 2021, ...
