Black Holes and Waves
When black holes merge, the mass is not directly converted into gravitational waves; instead, it's a transformation of energy within the curvature of spacetime. This process involves both the mass and kinetic energy of the black holes, evolving from one configuration of curved spacetime to another. Interestingly, this discussion does not impact the black hole information paradox, which can be examined independently of gravitational wave phenomena.In this clip
