The recent observed gravitational wave is claimed due to two merging black holes colliding or infusing into each other. Could it be just another local Big Bang? (Of course I am implying Big Bang occurs in various scales). So "our Big Bang" was a large scale Big Bang and was triggered by two immensely densed black holes merged at, say, light's speed? For another example: Moon was created for a small scale Big Bang. What's your take?

I think the Sigma for matching the merger of two black holes was something like 5.1. That means the predicted theoretical profile signature and the actual data received matched very, very closely. Think of the event profile as a kind of fingerprint, so researchers are pretty sure they know the cause of the data.
