The January 4 2017 event gives more support to the idea Dark Matter is
made of primordial Black Holes born a nanosecond after the Big Bang and were never stars. The spin of one of the Black H oles is not in the same direction as the other and of their orbit, binary stars almost always are. If there were born at different times and at different places the universe is now so spread out it is unlikely there would be enough time for the two to find each other and go into orbit, but very very early in the universe thing s were much more crowded and that would be more likely to happen. If LIGO can eve r find a merger where one of the Black Holes was less than 3 solar masses that would be the smoking gun, that guy would have to be primordial. In addition, some rival theories to Einstein's say gravitational waves don't all travel at the same speed but depends on their frequency, this merger was twice as far away as the previous two so it's the best test yet of that , and Einstein wins again, all the waves move at the same speed (presumably light speed) regardless of frequency.
