Exploring the Mysteries of Black Holes through Gravitational Waves and Lab Simulations.
TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have proposed a new method to hunt for intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) using ripples in space-time caused by their motions through the center of the Milky Way. IMBHs are elusive and could help piece together the formation history of black holes. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), a planned gravitational wave detector, could potentially detect IMBHs if they have a mass range from 1,000 to 100,000 solar masses. The proposed method is a longshot, but it just might work.
