A 1971 prediction by Stephen Hawking just came true with a cosmic collision 1.3 billion light-years away: Now scientists are trying to understand how
A cosmic collision of two black holes confirmed Stephen Hawking's fifty-year-old prediction. The observed increase in the merged black hole's area precisely matched theoretical calculations. This event provided the most accurate observational evidence for Hawking's black hole area law. Scientists collaborated across LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA to analyze the gravitational wave signal. The precise data reinforces fundamental principles of modern physics and cosmology.
