Just heard of him while watching something on gravity waves. Very intriguing guy, very happy to find out he grew up near where I did. Guys like him deserve more recognition, it is a shame when in our society when someone can make a fortune, become a celebrity and be idolized for a variety of stupid human tricks....true geniuses go unnoticed and unrewarded.
I'm soaking as many of these presentations up as I can. #4 and counting. And this one was from before the neutron star collision detection. Pure awesomeness. -Matt
I love the feedback from Dr. Adhikari's microphone through the PA. It got me thinking a black hole to white hole might do the same, maybe even wormholes.
Question: What if the black hole gravity waves hit the earth’s other side .. not on the LIGO.. still is it possible LIGO can record or observe gravity waves.. ? Or it miss them? So should we need more LIGO on earth? Or should we need to send the LIGO in space and record these waves??
I have a possibly very stupid and extremely off topic question - why we in Europe do l/100km and not mpg? I think that's a better information to have when you are at a gas station (I mean km per liter). Especially if you are someone who, for example, weighs fuel vs other expenses this month.
Because Europe and the rest of the entire planet is metric with a few exceptions which uses imperial (3 countries) or the silly mix of metric and imperial like Canada and Britain does.
