Gravitational wave detector confirms theories of Einstein and Hawking: 'This is the clearest view yet of the nature of black holes'

In 2023, scientists detected gravitational waves from a seemingly impossible black hole collision. New research has provided insights into how this 'forbidden' black hole formed and what it reveals about these extreme cosmic objects.

Albert Einstein's theory of gravity, known as general relativity, may not fully explain the nature of black holes as new imaging techniques provide more detailed observations. This raises questions about the accuracy of Einstein's predictions regarding these cosmic phenomena, suggesting that our understanding of black holes may need to be revised.
