A U.S. gravitational wave detector spotted a collision between fast-spinning ‘forbidden’ black holes that challenge physics models

A team of scientists led by expert Raúl Jiménez, ICREA researcher at the University of Barcelona's Institute of Cosmos Sciences (ICCUB), in collaboration with the University of Padua (Italy), has presented a revolutionary theory about the origins of the universe.
