A sheep in wolf's clothing.
The most massive black hole collision ever detected has been directly observed by the LIGO and VIRGO Scientific Collaboration, which includes scientists from The Australian National University (ANU).

We still don’t understand a lot of things about black holes, which hover at the very edge of our scientific knowledge.

It’s an undeniable scientific fact that dark matter must exist in order to explain the full suite of observations we have about the Universe. Despite all that we know about it, however, we have yet to identify what particle(s) actually compose it. Every single direct detection experiment we’ve ever concocted has come up empty. Although a plethora of dark matter candidates have been proposed, there’s no robust evidence in support of any of them. A new idea has been making waves this month as a dark matter candidate: a specific type of particle known as a hexaquark. Is this a viable dark matter candidate? Patreon supporter BenHead wants to know, asking:

In the quest to understand dark matter, scientists have now determined that the effective size of dark matter particles — how strong their interactions with regular matter are — must be smaller than we thought.
