Physicists with the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA collaboration have detected the gravitational wave signal (dubbed GW231123) of the most massive merger between two black holes yet observed, resulting in a new black hole that is 225 times more massive than our Sun. The results were presented at the Edoardo Amaldi Conference on Gravitational Waves in Glasgow, Scotland. The LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA collaboration searches the universe …

Elon Musk Says There’s No Tesla-xAI Merger Coming, But He’s Open to an Investment
Key Takeaways Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he does not support a merger of Tesla with xAI, his artificial intelligence startup. Musk did say, however, that he supports Tesla investing in the maker of the Grok chatbot. The chatbot was added to Tesla vehicles in a beta test over the weekend. Tesla (TSLA) does not have any plans to acquire …
Read More »LIGO Detects Most Massive Black Hole Merger to Date
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves using the US National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded LIGO observatories. The powerful merger produced a final black hole approximately 225 times the mass of our Sun. The signal, designated GW231123, was detected during the fourth observing run of the LVK network on …

Scientists have detected the most massive merger of black holes ever. This titanic collision, “heard” in ripples in spacetime called gravitational waves, involves black holes so massive that it could challenge current models of the universe. The merger was detected by the gravitational wave detector network LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) on Nov. 23, 2023, during the fourth observing run of these three …

Gravitational waves—ripples in space-time caused by violent cosmic events—travel at the speed of light in every direction, eventually fading out like ripples in water. But some events are so destructive and extreme that they create disturbances in spacetime more like powerful waves than small ripples, with enough energy to reach our own detectors here on Earth. Today, the LIGO Collaboration …

Scientists have detected ripples in space-time from the violent collision of two massive black holes that spiralled into one another far beyond the distant edge of the Milky Way. The black holes, each more than 100 times the mass of the sun, began circling each other long ago and finally slammed together to form an even more massive black hole …

Earlier this year, Italy used foreign investment screening powers — or “golden power” — to impose harsh conditions on UniCredit’s bid for BPM. UniCredit appealed the decision claiming that the conditions are disproportionate and effectively prevent it from doing the deal. The court said on Saturday that the government should review two of the conditions imposed by Rome on UniCredit …

DOJ approval “reads like a complaint” The DOJ’s unusual statement about the wireless industry oligopoly shows that the Justice Department staff and antitrust chief “clearly did not want to approve this,” stated Harold Feld, senior VP of consumer advocacy group Public Knowledge. The press release “reads like a complaint,” not an announcement of a merger approval, he added. Daniel Hanley, …

With the Trump-CBS lawsuit out of the way, the $8 billion merger between the network’s parent, Paramount, and independent studio Skydance Media would seem to be a fait accompli. As if anything involving Donald Trump is that easy, On The Money has learned. True, the lawsuit filed by the then-president-elect in December alleging that CBS deceptively edited an interview with …
