TL;DR Summary

Researchers have discovered a new speed limit for colliding black holes, with a maximum possible recoil velocity exceeding 63 million mph. This limit occurs when the black holes are at the tipping point between merging and scattering. The researchers hope to mathematically prove this limit using Einstein's equations for general relativity, which could have implications for the fundamental laws of physics. The discovery suggests that this speed limit could be part of a larger set of physical laws that apply to objects of all sizes in the universe.
