Higher-dimensional black holes hide an exact symmetry in their ringing, and string-inspired gravity breaks it

When two black holes merge, they produce a unique 'ringing' signal known as quasinormal modes. These signals depend solely on the merging black holes' mass, spin, and the laws of gravity. Recent research suggests that altering these laws could change the ringing patterns, revealing new insights into the nature of gravity.
