Hi All,
this finding is almost unbelievable but it's from - I hope -
a reliable source.
see this video from Jerome Gauntlett -
professor of theoretical physics at Imperial College.

As measured by LIGO -
the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory -
when 2 black holes collided -
one was 36 solar masses, the other 29 solar masses -
3 solar masses were lost in gravitational energy -
in less than 1 second which is
more power than is emitted by all of the stars not
just in our galaxy but in all of the galaxies in the universe.
cheers
Allan
