Physicists have discovered that a black hole with a vibrating shell acts as a natural resonator, multiplying weak signals.

It turns out a black hole can work like a colossal amplifier. If a cloud of matter vibrates around it, the space between them becomes a resonator: external jolts shake a hidden field, and it, like a spring, shoots out a secondary gravitational wave. This effect allows us to capture the tiniest deviations from Einstein's theory — all we need is to properly tune the detectors.

🎯 The field energy can grow tens of times over a few oscillation cycles, turning the whisper of external disturbances into a loud signal.
