I almost cried when she talked about the discovery because she was so visibly excited about it.

The way she talks about science is like poetry, amazing!

If you can't explain it simple, then you don't understand it completely! One can tell she has total understanding and passion of what she talks

I love the energy and passion she has when she talks, it's engaging and adds an excitement to a complex science

It was lovely to hear her speaking about a technical subject. Thank you for a delightful presentation!

It's funny how it's too hard to read subtitles for some people judging by the comments. Thought that TED is for people who can use their brains...

Despues de estar viendo tanto sobre las ondas gravitacionales, esto es muy interesante y me gustó que apareciera en Ted talks.

Such a lovely lady and the passion for science shows. Beautiful talk that explained things so simply and concisely. I welcome more foreign content for speakers like Gabriela.

She came to our class and had a presentation for us!!

The way she explained it, it all came out of her passion and dedication towards her work. This is awesome. Thank you for this wonderful talk. Afterall it doesn't matter which language you are speaking in.

Amazing! They should post more TED talks in different languages. In addition to learning something different than what the average Silicon Valley startup is up to, or the latest "struggle" against discrimination, we can appreciate the language and its flow. Promote good content, not good English speakers.

I loved seeing her talking, even without looking at the subtitle.

A lot of pretty stupid comments. Not everyone knows English; subtitles exist for a reason

I attended a seminar on GW and LIGO just last week. Interesting.

Apresentadora espetacular! Parece que está contando uma estória

This is my issue with Spanish, I need a mentor like her to learn to speak Spanish as technically with her. I get embarrassed when I have to explain network security in Spanish. Lovely presentation.

Lovely presentation, this not only briefed me about the discovery of gravitational waves but also made me realize how beautiful it is to listen to a spanish speech!!

very pleasant presentation

Nice to see someone who loves what she's doing.

For the first time, I watched a youtube video with subtitles. Damn amazing talk.

This excites and scares me at the same time

Gravity has a lot of in common with the electromagnetism: the force negative momentum wind flux behavior of the gravitational Newton 1/r^2 interaction, the existence of gravitational v.s electromagnetic waves etc. It is therefore quite natural to proceed like in the case of electromagnetism, quantize it and ask for the graviton, the particle which averages to macroscopic fields and transfers the gravitational attraction. Forgetting Einstein no one really has to insist first on the geometrical philosophy and interpret the gravity as the perturbation of the flat space-time geometry and simply ask first for the full gravitoelectromagnetic field. The natural consequence is the possible gravitomagnetic field different than the static free fall gravity "Coulomb" field and caused not by the masses alone but by the flowing streams (currents) of masses causing the circular trajectories of probe masses around the gravitomagnetic field lines around those streams and therefore mass current-current repulsion or attraction (if it was strong walking along the heavy rivers would feel like the Coriolis force on a rotating plate) and also possible existence of two kinds of gravitational charges (the negative gravitational mass) as well as the native (without the general Einstein theory) gravitoelectromagnetic waves detectable by a resonant sejsmographs (heavy oscillating masses in resonance with the wave frequency simply detecting oscillating gravity fields radiated by far astronomical objects (which were the original Weber bars) if the mutual gravitoelectric (normal gravitational) and gravitomagnetic (Coriolis-like) fields flux changes are like mass currents causing circulating lines of the complementary fields. It would obviously be weak if the "Coulomb" gravity force is already weak and it would introduce the second beyond the normal gravitational constant G the gravitomagnetic coupling constant for the Lorentz gravitational force the G1, coupling the moving mass stream density to the force acting on a moving mass around and no one therefore knows if the speed of gravity waves was immediately the same electromagnetic c. The later is absolutely strategic for the working anti-gravity devices (like even the levitating flying cars) which would revolutionize the spaceship propulsion and navigation. Because the gravitational energies are comparatively very low to the rest mass energies control of the flipping of the sign of the gravitational charge would cause the repulsion with a planet and smooth ballon-like startup of the space ship without any Tsiolkovski normal mass and momentum ejection. It is not energy consuming at all above pumping the normal balloon to make such a switch without regenerating the anti-gravitational type of the matter but only to revert the gravity charge sign. The quantum (blurred) field theory for any classical fields causing forces is nothing else as to say that any values of such fields are possible to be measured in a single measurement i.e. there is no any field equations but simply a dice toss of the field value at a point, any field is possible to be seen and to give the prescription how to calculate to averages of those measurements which normally is done by knowing the weight of the deviation along the functional path of the arbitrary possibility from its classical propagation values (minimal action) so the quantization is here as natural as for any other field even if the field has the Einstein interpretation of the fluctuating geometry like someone was considering the average curvature of two dimensional quantum folded piece of paper or randomly breathing and deformed ball (sphere) if a single look measurement could give any shape. The existence of gravitomagnetism i.e. gravitational forces other then Newtons force however does not require the Einstein interpretation of the gravity as curved geometry and if such is imposed generally implies different more complicated Einstein-like equations tuned to those forces in low energy limit neither the Einstein equations are needed to predict the gravitational waves immediately implying the possible antigravitational matter (matter which repels with the normal matter) but only assumption of the Maxwell-like equations for time dependent gravitational fields and mass currents. Obviously the assumption that those waves also move with the electromagnetic speed of light is immediately implying the gravitomagnetic permittivity coupling (coefficient between the mass current action to generate the gravitomagnetic field and the gravitomagnetic field Lorentz force action) constant as 4*Pi G/c^2 so extremely weak for Cavendish-like experiments for even heavy rivers to measure gravitomagnetism directly not mentioning the Farraday gravitomagnetic induction law using some giant pendula or other heavy mass moving machinery to observe the mutual gravitoelectromagnetic inductions.

That was beautiful!!

Que gran platica TED!

SAIFR me trouxe até aqui! Ela fala de um jeito tão envolvente, poderia escutar um Ted de uma hora.

Loved her talk and her dress! So apt! :) For people interested in the details I recommend reading the book - Blackhole blues and other songs from outer space by Janna Levin. It talks about the discovery in detail.

I wonder how the audience in Vancouver BC actually understood this. Real time translation is either really expensive or low quality. She also lives in Louisiana state. 🤔🤔

Awesome sound awesome lady awesome crowd. We are one

Que bello video. Que bellos el trabajo de estos cientificos.

Gravitational waves can be used to peek at higher dimensions if they really exist.

In 1916 Einstein claimed that gravitational waves were so minute that it would never be possible to prove that he was right about it. Well he was wrong, we did manage to prove that he was right!

Great speaking. And the Pythagoras concept of musica universalis is proven.

Love that

Why can't I get the English subtitles?

I thought the title read lego not ligo

It is funny, I wanted just to listen, closed my eyes and suddenly.. 😀. Fortunately i can listen English, Spanish, Russian and Czech.. but it was shock.

I remember that dress from another Ted talk :D

she is wearing THE DRESS

it's so cool...

Where are the subtitles?

LIGO Stands for "Laser Inferometer Gravitational Waves Observatory" What really is the benefit of detecting gravitational waves ?

her dress omg i want it. As a shirt.

Why didn't they get veritasium to present this!?

what is the Ligo

Selección de datos científicos, una forma de pareidolia, en la comunidad científica de LEGO. Pareidolia; es la tendencia de la percepción a imponer una interpretación significativa a un estímulo visual nebuloso (de modo que uno ve un objeto, patrón o significado donde en realidad no lo hay). ¡O sesgo de confirmación!

What is LIGO

just wooooow

thought this said Lego lol

¿Qué?

Smart Mexican lady.

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, The title's in English, Why aren't you?

.. Hello from Kazakhstan. The Dark Universe requires a lot of money from the budget: an experiment that sheds new light on the Universe will help save costs. We can create an educational and practical device and practically master Einstein’s theories of relativity or obtain, for example, new physics: Postulate 1. Light is an ordered vibration of gravitational quanta. Postulate 2. The gravitational field controls the frequency and speed of light in a vacuum. This is determined experimentally using a hybrid fiber optic gyroscope (based on Michelson's experiment 1881-2024). Using a hybrid fiber optic gyroscope, the straight-line speed of vehicles can be measured. There is a company in China that makes (fiber optic angular velocity meter) they will be able to create a hybrid device. Please, can you come to an agreement with them? I guarantee payment at cost on my part.

As A cube-earther I can tell you gravity isnt real.

🙉

Subs missing in English.

I rather preferred this other theory for explaining the universe, it just make sense to me. Prefiero esta otra explicación, pues me parece mucho más lógica, sobre el universo. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJl4osSpnZfWm30.html

Because Obama.

No I don't hate subtitles, but when I want to listen to a video while doing something else, they don't do me any good. :/

lets help lgbtq get pardons please that are in prisioners in texas and other states and help pastafaism get legally put a reglion. im a transgender, asexual also black due evolution no troll.

My head aches listening Spanish.

English !!!!!!!!!!

isn't english literally the easiest language to learn?

The title should be in Spanish, or this should have been posted on a Spanish channel. No thanks.
