@fv2977 8 лет назад

Yahtzee In the past, there have been certain problems and inaccuracies that have been shown within PBS videos. Due to this, many users of the internet have decided to despise the channel. So, if this video was to link to PBS, it'd probably be a death sentence.

@v1sa9e 8 лет назад

+Vociferous Enmity I've never seen anyone say anything negative about PBS, atleast not Spacetime because it's the only channel i watch.

@fv2977 8 лет назад

Yahtzee I'm guessing that Space Time is fairly good. All of the videos that get criticized are either about philosophy or culture, so it's safe to presume the Space Time side of things is doing its job correctly.

@exedeath 8 лет назад

How it works: Sounds are waves, more specifically soundwave, they are usually represented by frequencies in HZ, we are able to listen to 20hz to 20000hz, those frequencies vibrations per second. But sound wave is not the only kind of wave that exist, there is also plasma wave and others. What those scientists do is to record waves that arent soundwaves and send the data they have (frequencies....) to a program that will just assume those frequencies and etc... are sound ones (when in reality they arent). On some cases the wave recorded falls outside the 20hz to 20000hz range, when this happen, sometimes they transpose up or down the frequency, that means, dividing (or multiplying each frequency on your recorded data you have by X.

@aliciabaumgartner1406 8 лет назад

Whoa, wait up! 2:21 You completely missed what LIGO detected. It wasn't measuring light from the merging black holes, rather the gravitational ripples that it caused. LIGO measured the change in distance between the laser source and a mirror. As the gravitational waves pass through earth the actual distance between the two changes. That's what the sound represents.

@DampeS8N 8 лет назад

Not light. It isn't light you're hearing turned into sound. It is space being squished and stretched like the earth in an earthquake. It is literally analogous to sound, in that it is objects vibrating - only it is the fabric of space moving instead of the objects moving. *headsplode*

@conatgion 8 лет назад

+William Brall because of how the interferometer works it is kind of light, but it is not billion year old light. It would be more accurate to say you are listening to billion year old rippling of space-time via light transformed into electricity transformed into sound transformed into some magnetic stuff on a hard drive transformed into .... sorry i lost track of the whole thing

@ASkinnyWhiteGuy 8 лет назад

+William Brall Just the thought of colliding black holes altering the very fabric of space... Holy fuck.

@Sokar6186 8 лет назад

+ASkinnyWhiteGuy Technically, anything with mass can warp space time and even create waves when interacting with other objects, but the amplitude of the waves is only large enough to detect when black holes collide.

@ASkinnyWhiteGuy 8 лет назад

Sokar True, but black holes. COLLIDING. Just think about how apocalyptically-epic that sounds.

@Sokar6186 8 лет назад

+ASkinnyWhiteGuy Not to mention the black holes were a billion light years away from the earth, both tens of times larger than the sun. When the ripples reached us, their amplitude was on the order of the size of an atom, so even detecting them a billion years after the collision is amazing. Also, the collision happened in less than a second which is mind blowing in and of itself.

@operationssuperstar 8 лет назад

I wanna make a small correction: when you said that we were listening to billion-year-old light, we're actually listening to billion-year-old-gravity. It travels at the speed of light, but I think that's even more awesome!

@WashashoreProd 8 лет назад

I don't remember exactly how old I was -- I want to say middle school, but it may have been a bit after that -- but I got to see a very early prototype of LIGO in a lab at MIT in the late 80s. I think it was about the side of a car and it was sensitive enough to pick up a truck driving by, though it was far, far too small to pick up a gravitational wave.

So what you're telling me is that the sound of two black holes colliding is audible then pitch shifted so it's easier to hear? If so that does mean that someone can hear you scream in space, but only if you are a super dense orb of matter crashing into a super dense orb of matter. Space is so metal \m/

@johnathanhenley2251 8 лет назад

i get that this is groundbreaking and everything, but im not sure why its a stretch that expanding or compressing any wave can be done so and translated into the frequency range of the human ear. it can also be done the other way with sound to light waves. this is where the concept of a "radiotelescope" comes from. they are satelites that detect radiowaves (the long waves below infrared beneath the tiny spectrum of visible light). the radiotelescope captures the radiowaves from wherever the array is pointed at in space and compresses the sound into the spectrum so it can be visually observed as opposed to only heard. this really isnt THAT complicated.
