I didn’t realise that, thanks for clarifying.

I wonder if this predicted supermassive black hole merger is rare for us - once in a lifetime, or we find out after LISA is operational that they happened frequently.

Am I right in thinking that the search area something like LISA and LIGO "see" is essentially the entire observable universe?

Could we could catch a merger from the first billion or so years of the universe?

This video has answers to your questions.

No idea why this was downvoted. I thought perhaps it's Rick Astley, but no. I found it quite instructive.

Yes, particularly that the first half provides a really nice primer on black holes.

Edit: Looks like a great channel overall.

I found out about this channel a couple of days ago, and since then, I have watched a large chunk of the content. Rather than looking for something to kill time with on the boobtube, I've killed some time with this channel.

I probably could have added more context clues, but assumed benefit of the doubt.

Interesting video, thanks for posting it

That's the same reaction I had a few days ago when someone posted a link from this channel in another thread. Just paying it forward
