Answered
What is the event horizon of a black hole?
The event horizon is the point of no return around a black hole, beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape.
What are gravitational waves?
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime caused by the acceleration of massive objects, such as black holes or neutron stars.
Why is this new signal significant?
This new signal is significant because it provides a new way to study black holes and their behavior, potentially leading to new insights into the nature of gravity and the universe.
