Researchers analyzing pulsar data have found tantalizing hints of ultra-slow gravitational waves. A team from Hirosaki University suggests these signals might carry “beats” — patterns formed by overlapping waves from supermassive black holes. This subtle modulation could help scientists tell whether the waves stem from ancient cosmic inflation or nearby black hole binaries, potentially identifying the true source of spacetime’s gentle vibrations.
