    Replying to @Rainmaker1973 and @ProfBrianCox
    One of the really cool things about binary black hole is that if two similar mass black holes merge, you always get about the same power: two black holes 5 times the mass of the Sun give the same power as two black holes 5 billion times the mass of the Sun
