Would that be a hostile take over?
Does Wall Street know about these racist transactions?
“Dense Star Clusters”...Hollywood?
That’s OK. I’ll watch from way over here.
Wow! Amazing science. The thing I recently learned about black holes is that the matter is gone but the gravity remains.
I am at the center of a dense star cluster and the pressure is killing me.
Asprin doesn’t seem to work...
5.56mm
Of course not.
They can’t be seen!......................
If I worked around a bunch of Dense Stars, I’d have a headache, too!......................
Don’t you listen to them, star clusters!
You are NOT dense!
You are bright.....and beautiful.
They are just haters!
They are a bunch of cluster forkers!
Lots of those nifty ‘artists renderings’ of which you’re so fond.

“Now, remember Bobby, when you are in the slow lane on the freeway and a Black Hole wants to merge, just let him in or he’ll honk his horn and flip you off and eat you and you’ll end up in Schenectady or something.”
How else would you prefer the phenomena of merging black holes to be portrayed? Raw data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory?
Could be.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
Yep. The way I heard it explained is that they are not sure that the stuff that makes up the singularity at the center of a black hole is even matter anymore...
Wha??? Then what in the world is it???
By all means, enjoy the cartoon illustrations if you’re so inclined. I don’t care for their distortions of reality.
A black hole is a very simple object: it has only three properties mass, spin and electrical charge.
“If we wait long enough, then eventually LIGO will see something that could only have come from these star clusters, because it would be bigger than anything you could get from a single star,” Rodriguez says. “My co-authors and I have a bet against a couple people studying binary star formation that within the first 100 LIGO detections, LIGO will detect something within this upper mass gap. I get a nice bottle of wine if that happens to be true.”
The detection of gravitational waves was a historic accomplishment, and one that has enabled astronomers to conduct new and exciting research. Already, scientists are gaining new insight into black holes by studying the byproduct of their mergers. In the coming years, we can expect to learn a great deal more thanks to improve methods and increased cooperation between observatories.

Cool. For decades after the establishment of General Relativity, very few scientists studied it because there was no way to do new experiments or observations. That’s changed.
I don’t care for their distortions of reality.

I guess you prefer your own distortions of reality.
