Astronomy's New Messengers

Ғылым және технология

Marcia Bartusiak joins Kip Thorne, Laura Danly and Rainer Weiss to demonstrate how two observatories on opposite sides of the country, called LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory), may open a new window on observing the cosmos-one based not in light but in gravity. Scientists have embarked on this joint experiment, seeking whispers of far-away violence-like the collision between distant black holes-rippling through the cosmos. It’s taken nearly a century, but technology has finally caught up to Einstein’s brilliance. His 1916 General Theory of Relativity predicted the existence of gravitational waves-undulations in the very fabric of space and time-and LIGO researchers are now poised to detect them.
The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.

    Infinite spacetime has no beginning or ending. Gravitational spacial distortion bends the path of light as you are probably aware, it also distorts the frequency of light emitted from super heavy distant galaxies. Gravity from distant galaxies has a redshift effect on the frequency of light they emit in the same way that gravity can bend the path of light from a light source behind the gravitational field. Dark energy is an illusion caused by a spacial distortion caused by the gravitational fields of the distant galaxies emitting the light, there is no mysterious energy accelerating galaxies away from you.Hence no cosmic acceleration, no dark energy causing acceleration, no unaccounted for dark matter, and certainly, no big bang. This universe is eternal, without beginning or ending. Cosmic background microwaves are but distant galaxies who's light has been gravitationally distorted beyond your visible spectrum. Galaxies continually exchange and recycle energy and birth new stars out of old dead ones for ever and ever. How do you think light escapes super heavy distant galaxies with its frequency visually unaffected by spacial distortions? Someday sapien's evolutionary decendents might survive travel to distant galaxies and discover the return trip doesn't take require extra travel time, as no acceleration is actually occuring. That is unless your craft is destroyed by a violent war mongering species, leaving you marooned on their backwards hillbilly planet where its custumary to torture other species before slaughtering and consuming them as cheap food.

A collaboration of fields toward the goal of the continued survival of earth and it's stability within these structures is Paramount.

    I'm confused by what they were talking about around 44minutes with the pulsar and neutron orbiting each other. Can someone explain why gravitational waves taking energy away from the two stars would cause them to come together? Is it that the farther they are away from each other the more potential energy there is so that as the gravitational waves take more energy, the less potential energy and thus less distance between them? I took physics yeeeears ago so excuse the stupid attempt at trying to understand this lol

  • @jsteins

    @jsteins

    3 жыл бұрын

    X / per-second / per-second refers to continuous acceleration over time. For example, if an object (on earth) would fall 32ft / per-sec / per-sec then it would accelerate by "1g" and fall 32ft. during the FIRST second. This 32ft/sec is the AVERAGE speed during that time interval; but the exact "momentary" speed was only 32ft/sec in the middle of that second. If the object was stopped/still/stationary at the beginning of that 1sec, and it was accelerating (ie:falling) during that time During that second. During each second the object falls, it CONTINUES to accelerate, geting FASTER at the rate of 32ft per second. If an object were falling for ten seconds, then it would be moving over 320ft/sec at the end of that time. (over 200 mph, and over 320kph) These numbers are NOT adjusting for air friction. Since things are seldom falling in a vacuum... what happens "in real life" is that wind resistance will increase as you fall faster, until force of air equals the objects weight, so that object will not fall any faster. This "maximum falling rate, because of air resistance" is known as "terminal velocity" for an object. For a person falling during a parachute jump, the terminal velocity may be 120mph, until they open a parachute... which increases wind resistance, perhaps slowing the fall to 15mph until they land. Wind resistance & terminal velocity is also why a leaf or feather (in air) falls more slowly than a rock... but small rocks and big rocks would fall at the same speed (having same density/shape/ratio of air resistance) If an object were thrown UP at 100ft-per-sec, then gravity would still pull on the object, in the opposite direction, and it will take about 3 seconds for the speed to DeCelerate to a stop, and then begin to fall. These descriptions use Newton's description of gravity (not needing relativity) but does answer your question accurately. (valid in nearly all "real world" cases)

    If you missed it in this discussion, no gravity waves have ever been detected as of the discussion date, and not as of today July 8, 2015. Although General Relativity is undoubtedly reliable, I don't see that the predictions about spectacular interacting neutron stars necessarily is. The fact that there has never been any lucky detection in lower sensitivity detectors, and the lack of any possible verification for the predictions concerning neutron stars, make it too possible that the improved sensitivity detectors will never see anything.

    Keith Durant I don't see a reason why there might not be gravitational waves even under Newtonian gravity, so even for skeptics of General Relativity, which I am not, there is no particular reason to doubt their existence. That doesn't mean there are any waves large enough or close enough to detect. I recall that the grand conjunction of the planets was thought, by some fringe people, likely to set off earthquakes. But some one pointed out that the gravitational attraction of a person a few feet away from you was stronger than from the planet Jupiter. So it is a lot to believe that events, so immensely more distant that it makes Jupiter seem close, are going to be strong enough to detect by gravity.

    Keith Durant I expect there won't be anything noteworthy any time soon on whether gravity finally fits properly into quantum theory. The waves LIGO is supposed to measure come from General Relativity and don't depend on a quantum theory of gravity. So if LIGO fails to see any gravity waves, it won't invalidate a quantum theory of gravity.

    Yes, from what I gather it's electrons moving through a copper (or other conductive metal) cable that we think of as "power". This same concept is what makes batteries work where combinations of certain acidic chemicals and conductive metals produce a steady flow of electrons. When it comes to fiber optic cables we can only send information through them in the form of pulsing photons (light), and we can't send electrons aka "power" down a glass fiber optic cable because glass isn't conductive for electrons.

    The principle is very similar indeed. They are looking for a different specific thing but it manifests in the same observable effect they hope to detect and measure. Other than the much better equipment and smaller effects, this is pretty much the same idea. In fact, given that both effects are based on the same Relativity principles, one could even argue they are looking for basically the same thing - space/time dilations.

Dubbed "O1", this full-on use of LIGO as a gravitational wave observatory was the first such application of LIGO's interferometers after undergoing a 5-year redesign and rebuild to greatly improve LIGO's ability to 'hear' gravitational waves. This first official use of the interferometers as a unified scientific instrument lasted 106 days. In that time, the Hanford and Livingston detectors logged nearly 1100 hours of tandem observation; times when both interferometers were simultaneously locked, thereby operating as the world's largest gravitational wave observatory. LIGO will begin a second observing run ("O2") later in 2016 after engineers get a chance to examine the interferometers’ performance during O1, and to further understand the intricacies of this incredibly complex and sensitive machine. O2 will commence after the first of several planned enhancements to the interferometers (designed to increase its sensitivity yet again) are completed. LIGO management thanks all of the observatory operators and technical staff who worked around the clock during O1 and especially over the holidays. Since Nature could throw a gravitational wave at Earth at any time day or night, searching for gravitational waves is a 24/7 endeavor. Source : www.ligo.caltech.edu/

    Actually, the hammer and the feather don't technically fall at the same rate in a planetary gravitational field, all things being equal. It's just that you would need to inspect the 27th, or so, value after the decimal point to see the difference. M1 in the equation is the earth or moon and compared to those bodies M2 being either the hammer or feather is essentially, but not actually, the same mass.

    MY OPINION: The Universe is made of things; real and imaginary things. Real things are made of matter and energy, while imaginary things are made up of images created by our mind. Time and Space are two different systems; they are imaginary things created by our mind to satisfy certain conditions for us to explain the processes between matter and energy. Time is a process duration system, while Space is a process positioning system. The real things are made up of matter and energy. Light, for example, is the result of the interaction of energy over matter. Light, by the way, is the most direct demonstration of the quantum nature of matter. The rest is bs!
