goodness me....what a time to be alive. Thanks for posting.
so the merger resulted in three solar masses of energy being converted to gravitational waves....in a fraction of a second. And it is all as GR predicted - how extraordinary.
seems like black hole mergers make spacetime go "boing".
I wonder what the "black holes don't exist" brigade will do now.
