Scientists discover black hole of unreasonable size

Scientists have discovered a black hole that should not exist at all, and its size is 100 times greater than that of the sun.

The potential black hole, twice as large as physicists think possible, was discovered by the LIGO and Virgo detectors of the gravitational wave of the European Observatory.

The black hole usually forms when a star collapses when it runs out of fuel, but this only happens when the star's heart mass is 50 times lower than that of the Sun, said Quanta. Stars with the largest masses, 50 to 130 times larger than the mass of the Sun, fade or are destroyed by a powerful explosion, which means that this new potential black hole is totally contrary to the concepts of scientists .

Black holes larger than 130 can also form a solar mass when its core is too strong to be destroyed, such as the black hole * M87, which is 6.5 billion times larger than the size of the Sun.

Scientists are trying to understand how this potentially important new black hole was born. According to Kanta, they suspect the black hole to be caused by a collision of smaller black holes gathered in a giant hole. They believe that it has been merged into a dense galaxy area, where black holes of a mass of 30 to 50 times the mass of the sun have been merged.

Ligo and Virgo refused to confirm or refute the rumors about the black hole. No detailed information has yet been published on the latest surveillance images, which began last April. Scientists plan to reveal the reality of this hole by the spring of 2020. So we will have to wait until then to see if the black hole really exists and how it has resulted.
