And it's all about the distance Somewhere out there, far away, in another galaxy, two giant black holes are circling each other. Soon this will lead to their collision and the formation of one huge black hole – a large-scale event that will cause a pulsation in space and time.Discuss
These waves from black hole activity will be amplified, but will not affect the Earth. However, they can help deepen our understanding of how our universe evolved.
“Such supermassive black holes are the most powerful and energetic objects in the universe, and they have a huge impact on the evolution of galaxies and stars,” said Tony Readhead, professor of astronomy at the California Institute of Technology.
