We might as well forget about traveling to distant stars if it looks like this out there …

Black hole 'carnivals' may produce the signals seen by gravitational-wave detectors
… snip …
"I like to think of black hole binaries like dance partners," explains Dr. Romero-Shaw. "When a pair of black holes evolve together in isolation, they're like a couple performing a slow waltz alone in the ballroom. It's very controlled and careful; beautiful, but nothing unexpected. Contrasting to that is the carnival-style atmosphere inside a star cluster, where you might get lots of different dances happening simultaneously; big and small dance groups, freestyle, and lots of surprises." While the results of the study cannot tell us—yet—exactly where the observed black hole binaries are merging, they do suggest that black hole carnivals in the centers of star clusters could be an important contribution.
Again I ask … what value is this research?
