The creators of the popular science show with millions of YouTube subscribers comes the

Minute Earth podcast. Every episode of the show dives deep into a science question you might not even

know you had, but once you hear the answer, you'll want to share it with everyone you know.

Why do rivers curve? Why did the T-Rex have such tiny arms? And why do so many more kids need

glasses now than they used to? Spoiler alert, it isn't screen time.

Our team of scientists digs into the research and breaks it down into a short, entertaining

explanation jam-packed with science facts and terrible puns.

Welcome to Cool Stuff Daily.

I'm Zach Morris. Today's episode is all about black holes going full

chaos mode, record-breaking collisions, monster size, space piece, and a fresh clue on how the

universe builds its biggest objects. Scientists think they've spotted what could be the most

massive pair of black holes ever seen on a collision

course. The system sits about 4.4 billion light years away in another galaxy, and the two

black holes together may weigh around 60 billion times the mass of our sun. Let that sink

in. That's not big, that's rewrite your definition of big territory.

If confirmed, this would overshadow most previously detected black hole mergers observed by instruments like LIGO,

laser interferometer gravitational wave observatory, which detects ripples in space time caused by these cosmic crashes.

But we have seen something like this before.

One of the previous record holders was the famous GW-190521 event.

Two black holes, about 66 and 85 solar masses,

merge into one final black hole of 142 solar masses.
