Detecting 9 super black holes facing the same direction

The cluster of 9 super black holes returned in a way that was beyond the knowledge of scientists and could reveal much information about the origin of the universe.

A group of researchers at the University of Cape Town and the University of Western Cape in South Africa found that the cluster of black holes was coincidentally looking for weak radio waves from the distant universe.

According to the International Business Times, the floating image shows that there are at least 9 black holes in the area. This phenomenon has never been observed before. Scientists announced the discovery on the Moon of the Royal Astronomical Society.

The observed black hole cluster is located in the center of galaxies in the ELAIS-N1 cosmic region . All black holes emit radio waves in the same direction and this direction of rotation is the base axis for them to form parallel rows.

"Because these black holes do not know each other, do not exchange any information or directly affect each other on a large scale, this state of alignment has to take place during the formation of galactic bands. the universe was primitive, " said Andrew Russ Taylor, the study's lead author.

The team deduced the regional structure where black holes are found to have a special point related to the structure of the universe. They argue that galaxies were born from the same cosmic region right after the Big Bang, but moved away from each other for 13.8 billion years.

Scientists hope to find out why the black hole is aligned in the direction of rotation and put new findings into hypotheses about the origin of the universe.

Some of the reasons for the alignment of the black hole cluster include magnetic fields, strange particles and cosmic strings. "This finding is clearly beyond our current understanding of the universe. It is very strange," said Romeel Dave, cosmologist at Western Cape University.

"We are beginning to understand how the cosmological structure formed, starting with the Big Bang explosion and developing in the chaotic state of the universe at first to what we know today. That helps them we discover what the universe will be like tomorrow , " Taylor said.
