Apparently from theoretical studies astrophysicists expected far more colliding neutron stars than colliding black holes - but 2 out of 2 gravitational events detected so far have been black holes.

So much for theory.

This is a photo of it I took from my back garden.

I keep meaning to send it off to them as I think they may be interested, but I haven't got around to it yet.

Apply e=mc² to that! Unimaginable!

The classic irresistible force meets immovable object similar to watching XXX and YYY hand-bagging each other in an Asda car-park on a busy Saturday afternoon in Croydon, now where did I put my camera?

MOD: can't allow it, Tony, funny as it may be!

What do you mean?
I got a photo! - the camera doesn't lie.
