Physicists Announce the Detection of Gravitational Waves 

SPillay He did not predict this, that a myth!

@@cymoonrbacpro9426 He did when he wrote his field equations for general relativity - gravitational waves are a natural result of the form the equations take, the same way that Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism naturally produce wave solutions (electromagnetic waves, or light)

Jay Shah ban chot

Rahul Singh Yadav INDIGO! I can’t wait until it goes online!?

Rahul Singh Yadav Planned indeed, In order to guarantee more funding! Keep the enterprise going, junk science!

Michele Levi thank you!

And that’s when I cried.

We got him.

Elizabeth Hillman Nothing more than quantum fluctuation and not gravitational waves, some might say it is part of quantum noise, this conclusion would be correct.

もみじまんじゅう Did you know that LIGO system is receiving signals that number in the hundreds and they classify them as “glitches” ! And Scientist have no idea the sources of these so-called glitches. Could it be that this GW chirp is actually just a glitch which are misinterpreted to be a gravitational waves. Please note the excerpts of the article which follows; *LIGO glitches are detector events of unknown origin whose frequency spectrum does not look like the expected gravitational wave signals. I don’t know exactly how many of those the detector suffers from, but the way they are numbered, by a date and two digits, indicates between 10 and 100 a day. LIGO uses a citizen science project, called “Gravity Spy” to identify glitches. There isn’t one type of glitch, there are many different types of them, with names like “Koi fish,” “whistle,” or “blip.” In the figures below you see a few examples.* And here’s another example of an article relating to the blips; *Blip glitches are short noise transients present in data from ground-based gravitational-wave observatories. These glitches resemble the gravitational-wave signature of massive binary black hole mergers. Hence, the sensitivity of transient gravitational-wave searches to such high-mass systems and other potential short duration sources is degraded by the presence of blip glitches. The origin and rate of occurrence of this type of glitch have been largely unknown.* This is going to be the biggest debacle in scientific history, and I must say, a well deserve one!

Kuangheng Hwang Why?

Richard Feynman didn't have a college degree for most of his career in physics. Nikola Tesla never had a college degree. Stop worshipping academia. Many of humannity's top physicists and inventors didn't go to college. Isaac Newton himself never received a college degree. He lived on the top of a stone tower for most his life.

soviet onion - Your closed mind shows total ignorance. All science starts at "life science" which is mysticism and theory and trying to prove that inventions are not crazy. It's all a experiment is the best and worst ways.

The ISS experiments came from life science and the movie 2001 space odyssey was showing you what the crystal protein lattice is designed to do. YOU have been taken out of the equation. No more video games for you.

@@smh9902 Feynman got his bachelors degree in 1939 when he was 21. "Richard Feynman didn't have a college degree for most of his career in physics" LMAO you could have easily fact checked this in 30 seconds, instead of repeating some dumb myth that agreed with your own viewpoint

@@sisu9663 Okay, well, you're missing the point. Isaac Newton and Nikola Tesla didn't have a college degree. There is literally nothing you can learn inside college that can't be learned outside college. And That's a fact.

I'm not sure anyone knows how many stars there are in the universe. Kip didn't bother to make it clear whether he meant fifty time greater than all the stars in the universe for those few milliseconds or fifty times greater than all the stars in the universe since the beginning of time. But when nobody on the panel objected when Reize told us _twice_ that Alpha Centauri is three and a quarter light years away I get the feeling LIGO's much-touted precision is not particularly high on their agenda. Nevertheless it all sounds pretty impressive, eh what? .

@Fox Mulder English, please?

Because the warp drive theory does not exceed light speed. Theoretically a warp drive compresses the empty space between you and your destination. Think of a 10 foot carpeted room. At one foot per second it would take you 10 seconds to cross the carpet. A warp drive would effectively roll up the carpet in front of you so the other side is only a foot away. You travel the same speed, but cross the carpet in one second, not ten. That's warp drive theory!

You mean toys like cell phones, GPS systems, solar powered cells, insulation, vaccines, etc. Keep making fun, I doubt you could live without the science "toys" you mock like a moron.

You are either a troll or an uneducated, opinionated keyboard warrior. Either way, I have no time to play with you. Bye bye and enjoy your own little world.

HighlandMan Lmao :DDDDDD

Great questions. I like this type of questions because this are fundamentally the most basic questions when it comes to common sense and people tend to not think of.

After the merger, the gravitational wave is attenuated to well below noise threshold. It is not still emitting gravitational waves because it is now a single rotating black hole. The fact that we have detected this signal is a mix of luck and frequency. It suggests that black holes are a lot more numerous than previously estimated. Hope this helps

Same here! Trying to skip through to get the good parts (no luck so far ^^)

+Michael This is confirmation of a new way of observing the universe... this is comparable to the invention of the telescope. Not only can we observe known objects in the universe in a new way, we may also be able to detect previously unknown objects.

+mendali thx buddy

Awesome :)

+Eric Gustafsson well is a long way from detection to building a telescope. Nevertheless a small step has been made.

You're thinking of BICEP2 not accounting for cosmic dust, it's a different experiment

hahahahahahaha

Ahh yes, you're right we just forgot about it. Ok guys nothing more to see here, this whole meeting is pointless now

Are you joking or is this serious?

Yeah EaRtH Is FlAt. ScIeNce iS FaKe.

The greatest probability is that you don't understand the science not that the science is wrong. Claiming science is "stupid" is the zenith of stupidity.

+rickylarch To believe in the 'four wonders' (first creatio ex nihilio, second inflation with no physical laws, third dark matter, and fourth dark energy) is stupid, really very, very stupid, when the simple alternative that space-time has no limits solves the problem. That Big Bangers chose to name their naive religious beliefs as 'science', well, it is not my fault nor my wish.

+N.G.H. Calmarena But I admit I should have put 'scientific' like I have put it here.

Clearly, you are much smarter than the top minds of science since you don't know the definition of religion and you have solved the origin of the universe. Please share your calculations with us. The world awaits your proofs with great anticipation.

+rickylarch Certainly, I will do that, if you just tell me what I'm supposed to calculate?
