Two neutron stars in a binary system collided and warped space-time
with waves promulgating at a speed greater than the speed of light
(read the graphic) - 1.7 seconds faster than light over a period of
4000 trillion seconds! Small difference but real. Light is the limit
of the velocity of information but apparently not the speed of space
time fabric warpage.
Collisions like this create all elements heavier than iron. That
includes all our gold. It's estimated that the amount of gold this
cataclysm created was equivalent to a nugget the size of the Earth!
Riveting, fascinating science.
The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense
tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light
between two eternities of darkness.
