Inside the Chaotic Evolution of Giant Black Holes
Season 3
Episode 420
Published 1 day, 14 hours ago
Description
Using gravitational wave data, researchers identified two populations of Black holes: smaller ones formed from collapsing stars and heavier ones created through repeated mergers in dense star clusters.
The findings support the existence of a black hole “mass gap” and reveal how chaotic collisions shape the largest black holes in the universe.
