A nonlinear study refers to an approach that does not follow a straight, sequential path in analyzing or modeling phenomena. Instead, it allows for complex relationships where changes in one variable do not directly correspond to changes in another, often leading to unpredictable outcomes. In the article, a Princeton scientist explored the nonlinear dynamics of boson stars, a type of black hole mimicker. His research revealed unique gravitational wave signals during mergers, distinct from those of traditional black holes, which could aid in identifying these mimickers in future gravitational wave observation
