We explain the fusion of more massive black holes observed: 225 solar masses that “challenge” the current models

Scientists from the Observatories Network Ligo-Virgo-Karga they detected the “gravitational echo” of fusion of more colossal black holes ever recorded. This record event, called GW231123has been observed indirectly through gravitational waves-ripples in the fabric of space-time-produced by the collision of a black hole of 140 solar masses and one 100 solar masseswhose fusion produced a single black hole of 225 ...
