Black hole collisions are one of the few events in the universe that are catastrophic enough to produce spacetime gyrations big enough to detect.
Those universes with laws similar to ours will produce stars, some of which collapse into black holes and singularities that give birth to new universes — in a manner similar to the singularity that physicists believe gave rise to the big bang.
Long known for their obliterating power, black holes may also have been a creative force: New evidence suggests that they gave order to the chaotic mess produced by the Big Bang.
These two objects — which have the biggest apparent event horizons of any black holes that can be viewed from Earth — turn out to be complementary: Sagittarius A * is normally representative of quiet, inactive black holes, whereas M87 typifies the energetic black holes that produce elongated jets of gas and particles.
The idea that neutron stars can produce x-ray jets as powerful as those created by black holes is «a pretty big deal» that challenges some of the current models of the phenomena, says astrophysicist Rob Fender of the University of Southampton in the U.K..
Scientists say that type II supernovae should not produce black holes much bigger than about 30 solar masses — and both black holes were at the high end of that range.
Indeed, GRBs appear to emit produce even more energy than supernovae or even quasars (which are energetically bright accretion disks and bi-polar jets around supermassive black holes that are most commonly found in the active nuclei of some distant galaxies and possibly even in the pre-galaxy period after the Big Bang).
Otherwise unknowable details of some of the universe's most violent events — from neutron star and binary black hole mergers, to supernova explosions and even the Big Bang itself — should be revealed by the tell - tale gravitational waves they produce.
