ScienceTwo black-hole vibrations reportedly share exact frequencies in five or more dimensions
Phys.org reports that the vibrations arise from different wave equations—and that a string-inspired correction splits their otherwise matching tones.
TLDR
In five or more dimensions, two black-hole vibrations share exact frequencies despite arising from different wave equations, Phys.org reports. The outlet describes this as an exact symmetry in their ringing, which a string-inspired correction breaks by splitting the tones.
