Yet 2020 proves how stupid we really are......what a diacotomy..... conjecture at best. Brutal reality in the slightest.......

Yup, contrasted by people denying chromosomes. Pretty interesting contrast

imagine if we could measure stuff that happens at the Planck length level, which makes the 10 000th size of a proton scale seem big

@@tomusmc1993 You’re really on to something with this thought. Politics and sociology aside, theres a major problem with things that are not readily scrutinizable, like things that are: 1. More enormous than we could each visually witness 2. More tiny than we could each visually witness 3. More chronological than we could each visually witness 4. More divine than could each visually witness (this one is usually religious, though modern power structures are finally perfecting an overlap) The problem inherent in all these is the same; it relies on faith (which alone is fine), but with no standard of oversight that can be accomplished, so we as an audience are always relying purely on the most confident party. No matter WHAT evidence they ‘have’, and feel free to re-read the list, the presentation reaches you exactly when it can be elaborated confidently, but with no mechanism of that enhancing any part of its literal truth for all you know. I’d love to say it’s a modern issue alone, but it’s always been true in human history that *information* begets that confidence whenever conviction begets profit, or even potential profit, or even the desire idea of the chance of the potential for profit. Profit is sometimes power, security, money, basically the point is the draw is so large, and the reach of the demographic of capable competitors it always draws is so vast, there is absolutely no scurtinizable distinction between the information they’d present for it, and the truth, other than what you can witness. Some reading this might recognize why that is always, inevitably, without failure historically, the primary reason that every empire cascades into a collapse of corruption and degeneracy. Whether space is so grand by factors of a Prillion, or pandemics are so mutatable/spreadable by factors of a Jillion, or because a new type of wave is proven by how many Frillion light-years away it was detected, or so many dinosaurs died so many Nillion years ago, or so much weather is changing by so many Willion degrees, at the end of the day, when it’s taught, by how confidently it’s taught, and by how expansive the resources afforded for it to be taught, never outweigh the profit potential. This isn’t unique to any type of economical governance style, or century, or technology available. Though it obviously does get more effective and efficient over time, proven in how suddenly we can will an entire planet into wearing masks afraid for their lives. Or, like you said, misunderstand chromosomes for the sake of morality. It’s all money guys and gals :( there’s no dark matter, there’s just money. CERN doesn’t HAVE to do anything to avoid us all suffering, the world doesn’t HAVE to lock you down, internal combustion doesn’t HAVE to be the new boogeyman. It’s…just…money. Luckily history also proves we can easily stop it whenever we want. If we don’t than we just starve and someone else does better usually. Fingers crossed we do the former. It’s better to do the former. Do the former. Yesterday.

It's always been 'money'. @@dutchservices9837

this was not ligo but diffrent projects: NANOGrav,EPTA,PPTA,InPTA,

We are so blessed pulsars excist. Without them so much work would be much more difficult

@@koala71783This video wasn't solely about LIGO, considering he also mentioned the upcoming projects.

@@trevorbeuning5770Absolutely. They are the metronomes of the universe.

Can we make a distinction between: (1) Laser-interferometer gravitational-wave astronomy; and (2) Other methods of gravitational-wave astronomy, using radiation which is out there, bouncing around and detectable.

Good one lol 😂

lol. I'm not trying to imagine a gravitational wave as a guy with a dad bod trying to sneak to the fridge in the middle of the night.

Dad-Joke level unlocked...on the astronomical scale🤣

Best part? Gravity always point downwards.

TY I'm glad I read the comments. This is fairly funny. Thank you I find this video very boring.

Even someone like him can forget new discoveries happen

​@@thekaxmaxrepress gravity engine tech?

There's a saying that when an elderly scientist of note says that something is possible, they are usually right. When they say something is impossible, they are usually wrong.

@@danheidel Exactly.

😮

That was what I thought too. The instruments are so sensitive that a human walking beside the pipe will create a signal in it. Also two points for triangulation will produce a circle.

There is a 3rd observatory called VIRGO (which is in europe i believe) and thats where the triangulation comes in!

@@boulderbash19700209 not correct. I was part of the seismic isolation team for A-ligo from 2011-2015. between the isolation platforms and the optic suspensions all of these types of vibrations were eliminated from having any affect on the detectors operation. That's why it works, because we removed all of the movements that come from everywhere and actively and passively suppress them!

@@lunahri4173 There are mathematical formulas that use 2 detectors and the timing of signals to triangulate. The Virgo detector is a separate project and was not part of LIGO, it was a competitor in the search. There are collaborations where data is shared but its not part of how LIGO works or is it needed for detection. A 3rd detector was/is in the works for I ndia. While I was working as part of the Seismic isolation team, We built all of the internals while building both the Hanford, WA, and Livingston, LA detectors during the aLIGO upgrades, they were mothballed waiting for the India site to be built but there was always some political issue delaying the project. I am not sure where that stands now, as I have not been part of the project since early 2015 just before the first detections were made.

Having them in separate parts of the world is how local interference is discarded. They look for when they catch the same things at the same time. It's kinda like triangulating, but not. I think he just misspoke.

I saw it on that world map that was shown, at least. But yeah, no mention.

Had the same thoughts 🤔

Right? It's got to be like listening for ants at a Black Flag show.

​@@V.Perez1985that's one of the best analogies I've heard yet.

They had to get the background noise way down to detect gravity waves. It doesn't pick up any radio static.

Yep, beats me how they could isolate the whole thing from the most minute of ground movement caused by just about every and anything other than gravitational waves.

We toured LIGO Livingston, Louisiana and in the control room they had huge monitors showing all kinds of signals that they were picking up and then cancelling out. From cars passing on the interstate 10 miles away to waves crashing on the shore of Maine from a nor’easter, it picks up anything that could send vibrations through the Earth’s crust. So, it’s not only the machine’s sensitivity that’s so impressive, it’s the ability to process all that non-stop data and filter out potential signals that was so mind blowing. I’d never considered all the “noise” it had to ignore.

What does “explain physically “ mean?

@@Failzoid It means, I'm not perfect in English, It means, most people understand what I'm getting at. It also means being a grammar troll is not a good look.

@@Az-om8rw Why does asking for an explanation of a non-standard term mean someone is a grammar troll? It must be exhausting to go through life in such a permanent state of offence. Poor old you.

@@Failzoid You knew what I meant.

@@Az-om8rw I still have no idea what you meant. I asked what "explain physically" meant and you threw a tantrum. What a w@nker.

Thank you 😊

Each LISA satellite would consist of a shell around a floating, independent mass. The shell and mass would not be in contact. When operating, the distance between masses would be measured by these shells. Keep in mind that the actual distance between masses is irrelevant to detecting a gravitational wave. It is the CHANGE in distance (to thousandths of a proton diameter) that matters.

Yes, it's very good but the idea that "clutter can be removed from my bedroom floor & put inside my closet is, unfortunately, not reality.

@@alwaysdisputin9930You can’t store things in your closet? Seems like it’s not even worth having it in that case.

So gravity waves can cancel each other out? How soon do I get my hoverboard?

One of Dr Thorne's collaborations, Gravitation, is widely lampooned as a significant source of its own subject due to its incredible mass! But an absolute steal at about $60 when I bought it several years ago!

I don't know man, the thirteenth century was pretty wild. Of course I was so messed up I barely remember any of it...

no, it's one of the dumbest white elephants that money was ever wasted on. Claiming what LIGO detects is caused by black holes merging is like claiming you can pinpoint the cause of a ripple on top of an ocean wave.

I'm glad! Thank you!

Now there's an uncomfortable fact.

So, maybe in future you should just stick to pop-sci videos on social media sites as a way of getting your "science information" 'cause they seem to be more your 'level', whereas science lectures given by professors to *actual scientists and academics* seems to be way above it. 🍄

​@@the_unrepentant_anarchist. It not about pop science or information based off of academics paper. What I'm talking about is method of delivery. Viewer retention and keeping the listener hooked. No matter how good of a professor you are Power point presentation will never beat fully animated 3D perspective a video can provide. Watch Veritasium video on Black hole, white holes parallel universes and Einstein's Math. There is no universe where I would had understood this subject sitting in a 2 hour long lectures.

What really blows my mind is the fact that lasers don't automatically destructively interfere its own light.

@defeatspace- Lasers are set up so that the light they produce *constructively* interferes with itself- that's the *"amplification"* part of the acronym... 🍄

Why are they so exciting, what can we glean besides that they occurred?

​@@suspicionofdeceitwe can now sense gravity like wouldn't you be excited if you suddenly got a new sense? Also we can learn a lot about space from it because there's a lot of things we don't know

check out gravitational background or neutrino background radiation or dark matter stars. This is interesting asf

These are not "gravity waves", LIGO measures GRAVITATIONAL WAVES, which are two totally different physical phenomena. Gravity waves occur in liquids and gasses and are caused by the gravity of the planet. Gravitational Waves are waves in spacetime itself. We have photos of gravity waves.

​@@suspicionofdeceit Hopefully gain less ignorance 👍

Maby 4th dimentinal beings do

Alcubierre Drive does way better than this by making its own spacetime wave. Now if we can just make one....

I doubt this would work. I might be wrong but i don't think spacetime is something you ride on top off like a surfer on a wave. I think spacetime is more like a spring. It can bend, stretch, and compress but atoms on that spring stay more or less at the same place relative to the spring no mater its shape.

yes. That's why a pair of pulsars collide we see a wave a fraction of a proton in size.

It means, that you wouldn't survive being anywhere near these things. You would be crushed and stretched into pieces just by the gravity waves. Similar to spaghettification inside black holes.

it's not aether, that's been proven. What LIGO sees is /not/ aether. We know what it is, he said it--gravitational ripples in spacetime.

@dreamlife808 If you are asking if I have family there, yes. My Mom was Jensen from Bobell. Last time was there is at age 16 and I am 71 now.

@@thekaxmax I was thinking aether is the medium that the waves move thru.

@@michaeldickson2634Aether as first described was that, a substance. What we have and observe is spacetime itself rippling. No aether required. And you can't just all that aether, because aether was something specific that this isn't.

Thanks Stephanie...! Current Modi - Indian gov is pushing this kind of projects, hats off them...!
