Discovered colossal black hole – it is 225 times larger than the sun

Scientists have discovered a colossal black hole, which can be described as the largest ever found, as it is 225 times larger than the sun. The observation was made in the context of the cooperation of Ligo-Virgo-Kagra (LVK) organizations and if the information is verified, the finding can challenge existing physics theories. “This is the most massive binary black hole we have observed through gravitational waves and is a real challenge for understanding the formation of black holes,” said Mark Hannam of the University of Cardiff and a member of LVK Collaboration. “Black holes of such mass are banned by the usual models of stellar evolution. One possibility is that two black holes were formed through previous mergers of smaller black holes and at some point united, creating what we found, “Hannam added. Interesting Engineering wrote that the black hole was named GW231123 and its discovery also disputes the theory of Einstein’s general relativity as it rotates by crossing the limits allowed by theory.
