On July 29, 2017 scientists sensed ripples coming from an entity in space, which turned out to be two black hole mergers which together amassed over 80 times the mass of the Sun. After the scientists re-scanned the black holes and found ten black hole mergers and one other entity. Many wondered why the results took so long to come out, but the process is extremely slow and meticulous. Technology is still slow, but nonetheless we are rapidly improving and changing to find new black hole mergers with better, increased speed and technology.

It freaks me out to know that stuff like this is literally zipping around the universe and that a black hole could theoretically ram into us without warning at any moment and kill us all in an instant. Wack
