At the center of the distant galaxy OJ 287, two massive black holes are in a cosmic dance, shedding new light on the dynamics of such systems. Their interactions provide key insights into general relativity and the evolution of galaxies.
Researchers at MIT are exploring the probability that primordial black holes formed in the early Universe could be key to understanding dark matter. Through gravitational wave detection and gravitational lensing methods, they aim to confirm these black holes' roles in the cosmic puzzle.
