The ripples in space-time created when two black holes merge have been modelled to unprecedented accuracy, according to Einstein's equations, by a powerful new computer simulation. The "waveform" signatures produced in the simulation should help researchers identify the ripples in the data from gravitational wave detectors.

  • Yo What the fuck people... This is about blackholes and space... not about religions.

  • There are supermassive black holes in the middle of every galaxy.

  • im mirin

  • I guess if two giant black holes want to be on drugs, nothing can stand in their way.

  • @KrakDag they don't need to be in the middle

  • @hungarylnnjsd Why scam? It's not nice. Just look at my good theory of why space ripples exist.

  • Just to say, this happens because when the sucking bounds meet they create weird ripples in spacetime that mess the time up in that area. If you brought a computer there you'd notice it may change from 12:00 to 11:59. This is because the sucking area in it's bounds also messes time up itself. If 2 of those get mixed, the time control gets messed up so if a black hole to the past and one to the future meet, the middle is either past and future or the present but paused.

    P.S. This is my theory.

  • @hungarylnnjsd How much work and effort do you put into scamming people?

    Ever consider simply just working instead to make money?

  • @MusiruneProductions Anytime, and those human characteristics are quite a pain to gain knowledge these days :P

  • @lollipopbrigade Yes, that's basically what I've heard, just curious on the most current Idea, what with the imperfectness of the human race and all...thank-you, and well-put!

  • @MusiruneProductions it's not a hole it's just a well of near infinite density, anyways think of it as a funnel but the end is closed. the farther the water is the less effect the funnel has, the closer the more. anyways it is a super dense ball of matter. if we lived inside one, we would be instantly crushed.
