They did this by constructing an energetic collision between two black holes travelling close to the speed of light, crashing head-on.

This is all on paper, right?

There’s an NObama joke in there somewhere.

“14% of the total masses of the colliding black holes were converted into gravitational wave energy”

I wonder if they really said this using these words. This almost implies that gravity is a type of energy wave that can be emitted, comparable to eletromagnetic energy. The implications of that are staggering.

it is also a point in space where the laws of physics do not apply. Just tells me that our understanding of the laws of physics is flawed and incomplete.

This theoretical entity is known as a “naked singularity” and physicists are at a loss to explain what one would look like.

Silly physicists ... it would look like this below.
