Well if we think we are doomed by super massive black holes it seems that they are at least able to toll our death knell, albeit at very low frequencies in gravity waves.
Physicists and astronomers using the interferometry techniques pioneered by the LIGO team have further measured a phenomenon predicted by Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity.
"Scientists detect tones in the ringing of a newborn black hole for the first time. Results support Einstein’s theory and the idea that black holes have no “hair.”
If Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity holds true, then a black hole, born from the cosmically quaking collisions of two massive black holes, should itself “ring” in the aftermath, producing gravitational waves much like a struck bell reverberates sound waves. Einstein predicted that the particular pitch and decay of these gravitational waves should be a direct signature of the newly formed black hole’s mass and spin.
Now, physicists from MIT and elsewhere have studied the ringing of an infant black hole, and found that the pattern of this ringing does, in fact, predict the black hole’s mass and spin — more evidence that Einstein was right all along.
