Two black holes fused into one.
“Imagine the energy of eight Suns released in an
instant.” This brings to mind how great is our God.
According
to evolutionists, the signal from this event travelled for some seven billion years to reach Earth but was still sufficiently
strong to rattle laser detectors in the US and Italy in May last year.
Researchers
say the colliding black holes produced a single entity with a mass 142 times
that of our Sun.
"It's
astounding, really," said Prof Nelson Christensen from the Côte d'Azur
Observatory in France. "This signal propagated for 7 million years . So this event happened 'just before halftime' for the Universe, and now
it's mechanically moved our detectors here on Earth," he explained to BBC
News.
