5 Things We Still Don’t Know About Black Holes (And 2 We Do) After LIGO

“1.) How small are the lowest-mass black holes?

LIGO has yet to detect any low-amplitude binaries, providing no information about this population.”

Beginning in 2015, the LIGO detectors began to see robust, bona fide signals of gravitational waves. Of the 11 signals detected to date, 10 of them correspond to black hole-black hole mergers. Gravitational wave astronomy has not only opened up a whole new eye on the Universe, it’s opened up a whole new world as far as our understanding of black holes go. With these 10 mergers under our belt, and an upgraded data run expected later this year, it’s time to take stock of what we don’t yet know, and how we hope to get there. 

Here’s where we are today in our understanding of LIGO’s black holes.

Fungal Fluid Dynamics

Many plants gain the soil-bound nutrients they need by trading with symbiotic fungi. Underground, these fungi spread networks that gather and store phosphorus, which they then trade with host plants to get the carbon they need. (Image and research credit: M. Whiteside et al.) Read the full article

Fractal Geometry – The Geometry of Nature

Self-similarity, the property of exhibiting patterns that repeat on different scales, is evident just about everywhere you look. Objects with this property are known as fractals thanks to the work of mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975.

Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line… Nature exhibits not simply a higher degree but an altogether different level of complexity. The number of distinct scales of length of natural patterns is for all practical purposes infinite. The existence of these patterns challenges us to study these forms that [traditional plane geometry] leaves aside as being ‘formless’. – Benoît Mandelbrot
