    I live just a few km from LIGO Livingston. They are open to the public one Saturday each month. They have an visitor center with interactive displays, and give tours of the control room. It'a a very cool place to visit.

    Wrong in "gravitational waves are not time dilation". Here is a quote from "Time Matters: 3rd edition" referring first LIGO experiment:
    First gravitational waves detection was reported in 2016 when “two black holes merged”. Kip Thorne: “The black holes that LIGO (the device described below) observed created a storm in which the flow of time speeded, then slowed, then speeded. A storm with space bending this way, then that.”

    Does a black hole block a gravitational wave passing through it and absorb its energy?
    Or would it pass right through, possibly extracting information?
    Do gravitational waves contain maximum entropy?
    Do gravitational waves carry positive or negative energy?
    How does angular momentum get converted into gravitational waves?
    How does mass get converted into gravitational waves?

    The interesting thing to me is that when any mass goes through an acceleration (obviously there is another mass that is also going through an acceleration because of the reaction force), it makes a gravitational wave. As Dr. Sutter has mentioned before, gravitational waves also do not come out of a black hole. Now, if the black hole hologram theory is correct, a gravitational wave gets recorded on the surface of the black hole. Whatever happens in the universe, when its wave reaches a black hole, it gets recorded right there. So whatever we do is physically recorded on a black hole somewhere in the universe.

  • @Crushnaut
    @Crushnaut 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Doesn't the fact that a black hole has ring down after a merger imply that information can escape from the event horizon and that there is structure beyond the event horizon?
    What else could we learn about what is beyond the event horizon by studying gravity waves?
    Does this have an implications for seeing beyond the big bang?

  • @eljison

    What did you mean when you said that gravitational waves are living? Are water waves, or waves on a string living also? That is an odd choice of words. Did you simply mean that they real, physical things?

  • @mdavid1955
    @mdavid1955 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do we have a theory of how mass or energy curve space-time? General relativity doesn't really explain that ? Is a "quantum explanation" of gravity needed to explain this?

    • @kenlogsdon7095
      @kenlogsdon7095 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great question! The Einstein Field Equations describe how spacetime curves due to the presence of various forms of energy, which is of course a property of matter modeled as the exchange of bosons between fermions. That energy can be considered as being "positive" as opposed to the negative energy property of spacetime as pointed out by Hawking. To quote him directly: "In the case of a universe that is approximately uniform in space, one can show that this negative gravitational energy exactly cancels the positive energy represented by the matter. So the total energy of the universe is zero." While that statement was made in the context of the Big Bang, what it implies is quite profound! Rather than a violation of conservation of energy, we have a perfect balance, a deep relationship between matter and spacetime. It could be the ultimate yin-yang principle of physical reality itself, the ultimate "conservation" or "symmetry" if you will. Will we be able to understand that deeper principle? Maybe not! Attempts to quantize gravity into bosons results in the equations blowing up in everyone's face. I suspect it's just because they're trying to force something (spacetime) to be it's existential opposite (QM matter).

    At 4:03 you say "a good way to think about why" gravitational waves can't go faster than c & then you don't give a single reason why IN THE WHOLE VIDEO. Thus, this can't be said to be an "essential guide". I assume there must be something in general relativity that predicts they can't go faster than c? It's not just an astronomical observation? I know GR is very hard but you are a master of explaining things clearly. Please say why. It's especially weird that the speed of g is limited by the electromagnetic constants ɛ₀μ₀. Gravity should 100% ignore them!

      @@kenlogsdon7095 It sounds like if we were all in the same spot 13.77 billion years ago and the observable universe is now 92 billion light years wide that 1.4 billion years ago we would have been 13/14ths of 1.4 billion lightyears away from these objects but cosmic inflation turned on 5 billion years ago accelerating this expansion which means we were probably slightly less than 13/14ths of 1.4 billion lightyears away compensating for 1.4/5ths of 5 billion years of accelerating dark matter.

  • @damo5701

    @3:00 The spaceman claims no time dilation happens for gravitational waves. BS. If time dilation, even if very small, does not happen then the speed of light is not constant for all observers. If differences in gravity causes time dilation elsewhere why is the gravity (curvature of spacetime) different in a gravity wave? I have always wondered whether LIDO actually worked as it relies on very small fluctuation in the time of the laser beams to determine a gravitational wave has passed.

    A galaxy like our Milky Way is ~125,000 light years across. How does such a collective system of mass seemingly move as a unit across this vast distance if gravity's speed is really restricted to the speed of light? Gravity must work at a speed orders of magnitude faster than light speed.

    I don't understand how we can say inflation is a hypothetical even in the early nanoseconds of the universe and then we say gravitational waves may have produced light and in fact did so in the early universe. It's kind of a jump from theoretically to most definitely while all standing on hypothetically. We still have a problem of nothing going faster than light with the exception of everything during inflation which is hard enough to swallow without it being swelled up with imaginary dark matter or I mean theoretical dark matter that is 95% of the mass of the universe of which we can't even measure the smallest particles of at all nor can we even have any set of rules the connect this smallest particles to those black holes or even a star or a planet but we are now positive for sure that gravitational waves produced light in the early universe we can't see at least we see something that makes no sense when we look at it like super massive galaxies only 500 million years after the...... theoretical.....big...banging... singularity or whatever they call it today. Glad we figured that out for sure. Can we work on the whole measurement problem with quantum mechanics or the dark matter issue as in wtf is it besides a label for all we don't know?
