Highlights
  • GW250114 is the loudest gravitational-wave signal observed, enabling high-precision tests of Hawking's area theorem as two black holes merge and horizons grow.
  • The event GW250114 involved a collision between two black holes of 30–40 solar masses, about 1.3 billion light-years away, with data clearer than prior detections.
  • The measurement of the parent black holes’ masses and spins, plus the remnant's properties, tightens Hawking’s area-theorem constraints with higher precision than before.
