View Full Version : Gravitational waves from black holes detected
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-35524440
Too many big words in that article for the likes of me to understand, but am I right in thinking worm holes are more than a possibly???
FFFeedback, NNNNugent, explain please.
In a nutshell, if corroborated we have empirical evidence of the general theory. This in turn means that all that Einstein predicted is likely to be true (including wormholes)

Plus they might even be able to detect signals from the big bang, something never thought possible before. It also opens the door for the investigation of the "dark universe (http://preposterousuniverse.com/writings/cosmologyprimer/dark.html)", the large majority of the universe that we can't currently see. This is a huge day for astronomy.

The video representation of two black holes merging is the biggest anticlimax ever. Listen to the sound of the 'powerful pulse' at the end...

I'd have expected something like this...

It is quite remarkable when you think we can now detect the universe in an electro magnetic spectrum and quite possibly a gravitational spectrum too.
Extrapolating that further could result in an anti gravity force and a wave system for the strong and weak nuclear forces too giving credence to the TOE. Groundbreaking stuff indeed - we've opened the door to an even greater physics model and our understanding of what we know has gone backwards - from a certain point of view
If it hastens a return to blue ...
Most over hyped thing in years.
Who really gives a **** ?
What do we want ? Warp drive !
When do we want it ? Now !
Not sure if serious
It may seem overhyped now but that's what they were saying when Faraday discovered BiL and EMF. We now utilise that technology in pretty much everything.
Not sure if seriousUnbelievable! http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/Dsmile.gif

I can't help really. I'm not into all this stuff. This is feedbacks astrophysics game.
I'm a proper old fashioned astronomer, I like looking at the stuff in this solar system. The planets and moons etc. Anything else is boring with a normal telescope that the normal person can possess.
Seems someone is getting a Nobel prize though for this and it proves that Einstein was a right clever cont

Both analyse em radiation to formulate an understanding of the cosmos. Amateur astronomers tend to focus on the solar system or large celestial objects. It's still astrophysics though.

Each of the "legs" of the apparatus above is 2.5 miles long.
I like long legs on a gigantic scientific facility. Makes the arse look more shapely
