New black hole merger bolsters Hawking area theorem
SMRTR summary
Analysis of a 2025 LIGO black hole merger signal strongly supported Hawking's area theorem, showing two black holes with 240,000 km² combined surface area merged into one with 400,000 km², confirming that black hole surface area only increases or remains stable.
