Secret of a Black Hole's Fastest Chaos ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Black Hole Mergers as the Fastest Photon Ring Scramblers"
After two black holes merge, light is doomed to thrash in a wild vortex.

Two black holes merge, and one is born — one that twists light at the boundary so fiercely that it begins to thrash chaotically. It’s like the fastest vortex in a sink: once it forms, everything around starts spinning unpredictably. Perhaps this is how the strangest gravitational waves are born — keys to new discoveries.
🎯 Around such a hole exists a photon sphere — an invisible surface where a ray of light can orbit forever. But the slightest nudge, and it either falls into the abyss or flies away. It is this razor's edge that scientists are probing.
🎬 Scenes from Interstellar, where light swirls around a black hole, gain new depth: now we know that for a newborn hole, this is the most natural view.
