If you read the article, you'd find out that the supermassive black holes like those at the center of our galaxy were formed very early in the Universe's life, when the laws of physics were different.
- Aardwolf 7y agoIt's the same laws but at higher energy level. Depends on how you look at it I guess? Would you say the laws of physics on the moon are different because you can jump higher?
- im3w1l 7y agoThis "when the laws of physics were different" really pisses me off. It makes it sound like gravity pushes you away and magic is real and stuff.
- coldtea 7y agoQM has even stranger effects, so there's that...
- ethbro 7y agoInaccurate, but a close enough approximation for values of "laws of physics" that equal "things we can experience in our universe." Mathematically? No. Practically? Yes.
- Sharlin 7y agoHowever, given that the whole point of the LIGO–Virgo experiment is to detect events where black holes merge and result in a single larger black hole, it is seriously weird that the article doesn't acknowledge that fact right away and then proceed to explain why the mass gap still exists.
