[00:00:00]In 2025, astronomers confirmed the largest black hole collision ever recorded. Two black holes, each more than 100 times the mass of the sun, merged into a single object 225 times more massive than the sun. The problem, physics says this shouldn't be possible.

[00:00:19]Stars can't collapse into black holes that large. So, where did these two come from? One theory, they were themselves the result of previous collisions. Black holes that grew by consuming other black holes over and over until they reached a size that defies everything we know about stellar death. The universe has been running physics experiments we don't have equations for. Follow for more cosmic things we can't explain.
