Detecting the permanent imprints left by colliding black holes would reveal a universe saturated with infinite symmetries – and narrow the possibilities for a theory of quantum gravity

Neutron star equations of state used to be measured on a scale from hard to soft. From today, they will be measured on the cat-chonkiness scale.
I learnt yesterday that hypermassive and supramassive neutron stars are different things. Is supermassive even part of this scale? I propose we use the cat chonkiness scale for newly born massive neutron stars. Thanks for the lesson @LaskyPaul

@Thrane @MonashAstro I'm very sorry -- I tagged the wrong Thrane, who is probably very confused right now. This would be to come and work with @EHThrane and myself.

I'm betting on neutron stars being a little bit soft and squishy, but also a little bit hard. I wrote a piece in @NatureNV that does not explain my line of reasoning at all! But it does talk about a really interesting new result published in @Nature by @chirenti et al.
By observing the oscillations of neutron stars that have merged, astronomers could determine whether their interior is squishy or solid, writes Paul Lasky (@LaskyPaul) for @Nature.
