Gravitational wave study confirms NZ scientist's black hole theory - Expert Reaction - Science Media Centre

International researchers who studied the merging of two black holes say their new observations match theories developed by Stephen Hawking and NZ scientist Roy Kerr over half a century ago. Professor Roy Kerr’s 1963 research elegantly explained what space and time look like near a spinning black hole, predicting effects like space being ‘dragged’ around and light looping to make multiple copies of objects. The new study is based on a gravitatio…

Gravitational Wave Observatories confirm Hawking’s theory

New Delhi: In this mysterious world of black holes, things just got louder! 1.3 billion light-years from the Earth, scientists heard something extremely energetic and violent. This energetic event was a collision between two black holes. This observation allowed space scientists to test Stephen Hawkings’s theory on expanding black holes for the first time ever. Black holes are the caskets where the most massive stars collapse. They are formed at…
