A Black Hole So Big It ‘Should Not Exist’

9/1/2019

This article discusses the possible detection of a black hole so massive that it challenges current theories of black hole formation. Scientists have discovered a candidate black hole 70 times more massive than our Sun, named LB-1. This finding poses a challenge to existing models of stellar evolution, as it is believed that stars in our galaxy should not be able to form black holes of this size. The article explores different theories and explanations for the formation of such a massive black hole, including the possibility of it being a result of a merger of smaller black holes. The discovery of LB-1 opens up new questions and possibilities for understanding the formation and evolution of black holes.
