In 2023, astronomers witnessed something that defied the laws of physics — a colossal black hole merger that shouldn’t have happened. These two black holes were too massive and spinning too fast to exist under known cosmic rules.
Now, groundbreaking simulations from the Flatiron Institute reveal the missing piece: magnetic fields. By simulating the life and death of massive stars, scientists discovered that magnetic fields can eject stellar material at near light-speed — changing how black holes form, how massive they become, and even how fast they spin.
This revelation not only explains the "forbidden" merger of GW231123 but also opens a new window into the hidden forces shaping our universe. WooGlobe Ref : WGA332780 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
