Gravity waves detected

sMASH · Postby **sMASH** » February 11th, 2016, 9:55 pm

Scientists have decided to declare that they have detected gravity waves. Rumors have circulated months now that they might have detected them, but as is usually the case, they delayed announcement to check and double check and independently verify the data.

It was the last, and hardest prediction of general relativity to be proved.

I don't know the implications, kinda difficult for me to post explanitory videos. Ill try when I get home.

Big news? Yes, but not for us.

This is when two black holes collide. much is written on this subject. Google stephen hawking and kip thorne. Also i would recommend u watch the movie interstellar

Interesting find this. Made me start reading "A brief history of time" again.

Just makes Einstein all the more amazing. Great stuff

it is NOT when two black holes collide, but rather when you have extremely massive objects moving quickly enough that they cause a ripple in the space-time. Two black holes in a death dance, circulating each other very quickly before they merge, is one source of it.

Think about it like this, u have a big long rubber band and u stretch it and let it go. From one end to the other the band going to move towards the pulling side when pulled and move back towards the stationary side when normalized. Stretch and release very quickly and the band in between both points react accordingly.
But, if u Do it so quickly and with such force that any part of the band doesn't have time to change direction compared to the action of either pulling of releasing, is like a wave in the rubber band. I.e. when pulling, some parts of the band still retracts, and when releasing some parts of still stretch.

Although traveling at the speed of light, they said its within the audible range, and from the tones they simulated it with, I'd say is between 500 and 5000 Hz.

Humans can only speculate. With our technology we can't even scratch the surface of space.
Time only exists to humans because they created it.

We know time exists and only goes forward because we observe entropy everywhere in the universe. It's not a human concept. Hence that whole 2nd law of Thermodynamics thing.

Time is an illusion.

If time was an illusion gravity would have ZERO effect on it. However time dilation due to gravity has been measured already and proven to be real.

We know this long time.....if a big bamsee red ting pass close....I does feel de pull...and de ripple in meh pants...

And then time stops cuz de wife knock me to fack out fuh drooling.

The joys of marriage...leading science.

time IS real, more or less

Hahaha. This man have the correct proof and definition of gravity. Thats how it affects us in real life.

Do you see anyone wearing a watch in any scifi movies?
Can anyone physically prove otherwise?

You choose to ignore. That is all.
