Andrew Blain, Professor of
Observational Astronomy at the University of Leicester, says that the discovery sets a new «benchmark» for our understanding of the nascent universe.
Dr Simon Vaughan, Reader in
Observational Astronomy at the University of Leicester's Department of Physics and Astronomy, explained: «The seemingly random fluctuations we see from the black holes and white dwarfs look remarkably similar to those from the young stellar objects — it is only the tempo that changes.»
