The two black holes close together gradually over time as their orbits degrade as energy is lost generating gravitational waves, but the process can take longer than the
current age of the universe.

The next step, he says, will be to go for confirmation by surveying many more galaxies — perhaps as many as 100 million — at different distances, meaning at
different ages of the universe, to see if the effects produced by this first round remain consistent.
