This 'impossible' black hole merger may be explained by a warp in spacetime

Recent research indicates a “forbidden” merger of two black holes, once considered highly improbable, could potentially be explained. Scientists now believe the participating black holes were significantly smaller than initial estimates suggested. This revised calculation dramatically alters the theoretical framework surrounding such extreme events in space. The findings challenge existing models predicting the formation of mergers between massive black holes. Further investigation is underway to fully understand the implications of this unexpected discovery regarding spacetime distortions.
