ScienceGravitational lensing may explain the “impossible” size of merging black holes
LiveScience reports that new research suggests a puzzling signal from two colliding black holes may have been warped by gravitational lensing, a space-time phenomenon.
TLDR
LiveScience reports on research suggesting that gravitational lensing may have warped a signal from a pair of colliding black holes. The theory could explain the merging black holes’ seemingly “impossible” size, though LiveScience says it also poses a new problem.
