Hairy black holes? A new space mission could help answer questions

Physicists hope that LISA will also be able to measure any hairy attributes that black holes might have.

Physicists consider black holes one of the most mysterious objects that exist. Ironically, they’re also considered one of the simplest. For years, physicists like me have been looking to prove that black holes are more complex than they seem. And a newly approved European space mission called LISA will help us with this hunt.
