Physicists detect rare 'second-generation' black holes that prove Einstein right... again
Physicists have made an exciting discovery by analyzing two massive black hole mergers that occurred just a month apart, providing compelling evidence for the existence of rare 'second-generation' black holes. This finding not only reinforces Einstein's theories but also opens new avenues for understanding the universe's evolution and the life cycle of black holes. It's a significant step forward in astrophysics, showcasing how ongoing research continues to validate foundational scientific principles.
