- Les Guthman's director's cut of his "LIGO" documentary. It includes a full chapter with Kip Thorne and Alessandra Buonnano on the cosmology of LIGO not seen in the original version, and a deeper history of the long 50-year search for these once-elusive messengers from the "Warped Side" of the universe: gravitational waves.

I'm so happy that there are some documentaries produced with the volume of the background music set to actually be in the background and not drowning the speech👌
Zero music would be fine
Yes, it's pleasant how minimal it is. The less the better really. It's hard to not put it in when editing.. people are scared of silence in media.. :)
Thank you so much for pointing out the issue with music being way too loud and annoying in TH-cam videos! I often make comments about music that's too loud and annoying.
Yes background music most times drowns out the dialog I can't hear whats being said. Seems like the producers and creators of these shows would realize this. This one is fine.
The music issue has, nearly, ruined several otherwise exceptional BBC presentations by Professor Jim Al-Khalili. His pedagogy is far too valuable to be so diminished by such a distraction.
I seriously felt the desire to download the programs and remaster the audio, minimizing the music while enhancing Professor Khalili’s narrative. I suppose I could only use it for my personal use due to copyright issues. In the end, the BBC & Royal Institute could, with their production assets, easily remaster and upload.
Middle of the night rant, but I stand by it.
Hells bells I needed this documentary. In a troubled world, this reminded me of the purity and nobility of scientific enquiry.
That died with global warming and was buried by covid
"Hell's bells" 🙂
Haven't heard that phrase since my dad passed away a couple of decades ago.
I have a lot more questions though ....but yes we need to watch these amazing drs ,engineers, scientists , not only are they typical looking scientists ,which I mean no offence they are 'Clever Trevors', but they are expanding our little knowledge of what's really out there ....in Space 🌌
If only…. The whole history of science is heterodoxy vs orthodoxy.
Why not study gravitational waves they’re a part of the universe and happening every day
It's 5:15 in the morning and I couldn't sleep. I started watching this video and I was enraptured. I've always been fascinated by science and have, since I retired, concentrated on learning about fields that interest me. Physics has been my big challenge (mainly the math) but this video opened up an entirely new way of thinking. I was impressed not only by the concepts but the clear presentation of the approaches taken to prove those concepts was fascinating. So, I am saving this video to watch again because I know that there is much I missed or didn't understand and I want to understand. Thank you.
Gravity MOTION is a myth and has been Debunked !
Having doubts ?
Chech your BODY internal and external MOTION, even the air U breathe Debunks Gravity by enabling Ocean Waves into rolling MOTION.

your t compelled me to share this book with you, i've found a nice twelve minute summary also!

Bravo! ....what a beautiful film. The signing of the book with all the signatures of earlier Nobel winners took my breath away. Great documentary.
It’s amazing to see the universe through the lens of gravity! It’s also ironic the LIGO uses light to detect the waves of one the few non light mediums in order to shed new “light” on science.
I live only 30 minutes drive from the Hanford LIGO. They do monthly public tours. And if you have a group of 15 or more, you can schedule a private tour. I did that with my grandkids. Fantastic! Worth a visit to Richland, Washington on the Columbia River. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is another great center of science research here. And then there is the B Reactor, the first operational reactor on earth, created for the Manhattan Project, part of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park, and the Park Service gives tours. Very worthwhile. John Wheeler who taught Kip Thorne, did much of the theoretical work behind LIGO also worked on the B Reactor.
the utter beauty and also the sheer madness of human beings and what we are able to do
I am pleased that humanity liked the results. It gives inspiration for further research and development. And there are bigger surprises.
Thanks for the wonderful video, and a huge thanks for not ruining it with crappy background music.
I don't know why some people are compelled to add annoying background music throughout their videos.
Sadly, my OP was premature. 16 minutes in and the background noise has driven me away.
Constructive criticism:
lose the background noise.
The subject & the people being interviewed is great! The addition of distracting, monotonous & annoying music ruined the vid.
Because they know that their shows won't stand on their own, without additional distractions.
What an ADVENTURE! what a moment in science history! what a heroic achievement by many hundreds of Scientists, living and dead.
this soundtrack was such a nice touch."
BRAVO to the LIGO teams
Thanks for an excellent documentary of the awesome LIGO instrument.
Beautiful !!!! Thank you for all of your hard and many, many years of work and determination. 😀
Great stuff. I'm only 8 minutes in and I'm already thinking the same thing I was thinking about this kind of detection before - you really need to have a detector station up past earth's local influences... We need something like the JWST up there for LIGO...
something like lisa.nasa.gov/ ?
LISA (Laser Interferometric Space Astronomy)
@@endcgm9277 oh, gosh.. haha, i hadn't heard about LISA, thank you, that's awesome. 2034.. hope i'm still around to see it!! :)
The same thought occurred to me at some point during the movie
Thanks for this release - such an excellent tale of scientific endeavour, now with more of my favourite characters - in HD! ❤
This is. It! Best wishes for the scientist. Video montage is brilliant!
KUDOS TO ALL INVOLVED ❤
We are all living in a golden age of science, technology, and wonder.

An outstanding documentary! ❤
It heartens me to see these big scientific search projects being funded.
Amazing.
Hear hear!
Great documentary, hope it ends up at something like PBS NOVA so more people see it!
Thank you for posting this and sharing.
Bravo to all those involved!
Great documentary but I wish when they talked about the dates of events they would mention the year as well as the month and day - kind of important info when you are new to this story.
Holy smokes.. An hour and forty six minutes. I figured I’d take a stab at it and see how long it would take me to lose interest. I enjoyed it right to the end. Great documentary.
Yeah 30 min in no science just hyped speculation .
This is fascinating! It's almost too believable that we humans can now detect massive cosmic events that are NOT by means of electromagnetic phenomena, which, since the dawn of human existence until 2015, were the only possible means of sensing electromagnetic waves rather than gravitational waves.. It boggles the mind and it lifts the spirit! What unimaginable wonders await us, if we survive our petty squabbles here on this little sphere we inhabit..
Its ironic that just now through the wonders of communication tech we can spread such fascinating info to such a massive percentage of the worlds population, but just as this is happening we seem to have destroyed a lot of what we have and are hell bent on exploiting and destroying whats left
One of the great achievements in experimental physics. I am sharing this with all my physics students.
I can't believe that this awesome movie is free! I love all you smart nerds! I'm a hobbyist physicist.
Exceptional documentary.
Some of these projects really deserve medals, especially satellite observation modules. We're learning so much because of them!
Such a good documentary, thanks! Everything was so well explained, so that even a layman like me could grasp the concepts.
That means a lot to us, many thanks!
I saw the original version. Now this! A thrill, privilege, inspiration. The humanity, humility, generosity on display an explicit presentation of the best our species produces. Thank you one and all involved in bringing this extraordinary story to light. Best wishes. 🌞🤸🏽♂️🫶🏼🖖🏼🥂✌🏼
That was an amazing documentary! Beautifully done.
This is a wonderful documentary, thank you!!
An hour and forty six minutes. That is how I determine if it can hold my attention that long, the length of a movie. Just imagine the attention span of these scientists who have worked on it for decades! Talk about space time continuum! Taking decades of research and squeezing it into 1:46 just so our intelligence defiicited brains could relate to the signifigance of their findings. that's real time travel! Brilliant!😎👍
Such a great scientific (and engineering) adventure 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much. This is a juicy tomahawk steak of a documentary. Rare and well done at the same time
I wish that more quality sci-fi movies were made 🎬
Like how close would a gravitational wave need to be near the Earth to be a "problem". Or maybe multiple waves are heading to the Earth. Oh no.
I could fall in love with Gabby Gonzalez! I love her bubbly, infectious enthusiasm! They couldn't have elected a better spokesperson!
Viva Argentina! (And I’m so sorry you beautiful people have such awful governments.)
This documentary is incredible, it really helps you understand the magnitude of the work and of the discovery.
Of course, it comes to mind that a simulation would have its containment points, that is to say, the subjective nature of the perceptions within it, were they to venture far enough with the hypothesis, that the simulation might very well have a set of protocols to diffuse the question via a subroutine to redirect attentions, obfuscate or even manufacture distractions.
The question that came early to mind , ( and I'm only 5 1 minutes in at this point ) given the sensitivity of the sensors and equipment, spoke to the possibility that the work being done in the collider could somehow play a part.
Thus far, I gotta say, all these folks on camera are so chuffed, their enthusiasm is somehow infectious. :)
Hive five film maker.
This is amazing, good way to spread the beauty of science.
Is this an actual mocumentary? if so, it's absolutely superb! Very well done. Bravo!
Having visited the LIGO facility at Hanford, Washington, I had a sense of what a monumental accomplishment this was. This documentary filled in a lot of knowledge gaps for me, but it was especially nice to "meet" and hear from all of people who worked so hard and made this project come to fruition.
Wonderful video!
A truly marvelous and engrossing film...🎉
Great documentary about a monumental advance
Asking "why only one" to me is the opposite that in a microscopic amount of time (decades) an event of this magnitude was discovered. So to me, these amazingly large events are common from a human time frame perspective. To now find the secondary effects of one, would be spectacular!
Had a friend of mine take the people who do this on a haunted tour in New Orleans.
He and they got aquainted,and he got invited to tour the facility nearby.
He said it was one of the most incredible moments of his life to see the facility.
He called me when they announced the grav wave indication so excitedly,lol.
I understood the level of how huge this discovery was because it opened up so much in space and time science research.
Bravo LIGO,Bravo to the teams who spent a lifetime of effort to find an event that was up to now just a fantastic theory.
Thank you:) Amazing discovery.
What a wonderful creation that of LIGO, and in no small measure this documentary. Seldom do we get such an intimate glimpse of science in action. and to see it so richly populated by women is icing on the cake. I'm sure some time in the near future that a curious child will see this and a spark ignited that may culminate in another exciting discovery. Thank you, great work!
I love seeing Peter Saulson in here! Hello friend!
These scientists and experiments are so inspiring.
There was a fun for me moment, when one person was saying that someone else was sort of the idea of what not to do in data analysis, while leaning on the very precise, so precise it is made to move, machine. I say that as a once tech guy, who had to set up alignment of equipment for testing. I loved to keep my workroom locked to all outsiders always.
He was leaning, of course, on the 40-year-old "detector" of Joseph Weber, now just on display at the LIGO Hanford Observatory. No data being taken!
I love the old analog oscilloscopes behind Michael Zucker at 38:15 😍
So did we!
Love it!!
this seems alot more safe and necessary than what they are doing at cern thats for certain i live a couple hours away to and had no idea that this was going on. awesome! great film!
I was able to access the preliminary test report the day after on their site. It was a "predicted" test. They had to detect the affect at subatomic level to get the measurement. They did not release that report until 6 months later.
It's wonderful I'm very happy for everyone and their amazing discovery and all their hard work! This video is way too long. After an hour and 30 minutes I am numb.
Seems to me the largest and longest collaboration of man's greatest minds in an endeavor that had no guarantee of bearing any fruit at all: with Large Hadron, for example, they would be running experiments that were certain to telll us something. Thus the humility of this group of geniuses to dedicate their careers to a search that might find nothing, Pure science is essential.
To think there are humans in the world this intelligent is almost hard to fathom.
They mentioned that the first wave was only detectable by Ligo. The wave is "gone". IF there was another detector somewhere that could be synchronized with the detection of the wave then the observation could be confirmed.
I believe the gravitational wave must be in the center of the structure as a whole, meaning no measurement can be make until the actual wave is in the center and both sides are geometrically stable, tho their overall length is contracted.
Best sci doc I've seen. I teach high school physics/astronomy. My students loved this.
Amazing documentary - but the background music is really distracting and makes it difficult to focus on the dialogue and narration. Would love to be able to watch this again without the background music.
This went well with the Tropical Thunder bubble hash i got from the store ☺️
To realize that, because AND in spite of the unfathomable size of the universe, the size of space and time as compared to how very brief human being’s lifespan are, etc., it was I’m sure assumed and understood that those detectors could have been “listening” if you will for a long long time to register something of this magnitude, something as historic and amazing as what happened. On top of all of that, to happen when they’d not even have all the sensors or additional tools they had already developed to consolidate this project into a fruitful one, is, to me at least, a miracle, a sort of divine or spiritual reminder that reaffirm my believe in something that although intangible, unorthodox, invisible, and outside of, I feel, of any of the scientific disciplines, schools of thoughts, one side, or dogmas, beliefs, religious, etc., or even school of thoughts,philosophical, theories from, pretty much, every scientific discipline, and so on. So, for something like this to happen, is kinda like what witnessing a miracle would mean to a devoted Christian, except to me, they are one and the same cause I believe they come from the same place. These pioneers should be lauded and elevated and appreciated for the time and effort and passion they employ in advancing, improving, and working towards a general betterment of our species. Thank you lord, whoever, wherever, whenever, and ever, you may be, were or will be.
Why was the LIGO detector not built somewhere in the desert, far away from traffic and other human actions?
From the hill and Heal thats forwards and or backwards to peaks in the spacing and the floating density of motionless spin it like looking at the keepoh of Stonehenge and finding vibrations of the earth literally grounds from upper level and lower toned lines in the vandigraph area lightning wave or a projection of an otherwise powerful force of electric power to drawing in lightning strikes at a precise distance. Ive see ball lightning forms passing through stone walls it blew my mind as to how does it do it again and again it'll take time to understand
This is nuts trying to do this precise measurement on the active moving Earth! Why is this measurement not being done between the space station and the Moon?
I have a strange question , can gravitational wave be deflected , reflected back from "the end of Universe"
or cross over to other Universe ?
For me, this discovery & the voyage of Apollo 8 are the two of mankind’s greatest..: when we first left/ gravity of our home world.., and have now detected a phenomenon that is outside our natural senses… to a accuracy that is beyond comprehension..👍
Awesome.
Talk about how much light is flying between the two mirrors. That alone is astounding. It is a real flux capacitor!
what did she say causes the “chirp”? because that immediately reminded me of the “bloop” sound they recorded in the ocean years ago.
Do gravitational waves amplify/cancel eachother, or do they propagate without interaction?
i think if they are like any other wave, they could cohere/interfere with each other
Superb docu and music! Would love to get the name of the soundtrack and artist if possible!
The music was arranged by the director, Les Guthman. It was largely written and performed by David Bowie and Philip Glass.
@@advancedligodocumentarypro442 Pfff quite the legends there! No wonder it's so good! Thx for sharing!
I wonder if Albert could have witnessed this ,would he have looked smug? Did he have any doubt at all? Or just a faint twinkle in his eyes saying “ I told you so ,I knew it!”
What a guy
What a team
What relief they must have felt collectively.
AE had concluded gravitational waves would be undetectable.
I still can't wrap my head around that this was possible, let alone done. To have the determination to pull this off, knowing that it was so difficult...takes very special people. Humans can do incredible things and I feel a bit proud of our species. This documentary was an exceptional testament. I particularly liked the part where they devoted so much effort attempting to prove the initial signal of the binary black hole merger was fake/false. Cheers to all involved.
I think black holes are like cancellation points for vibrations to enter into a non vibration level
The simple answer is that the wavelengths of harmonics associated with the reflection of the gravity andromeda has been sending out many magnetic waves in super fast waves to bending through a wall of space itself too understand the frequency that the pass by us is a matter of radio harmony or high blips and low blips
1:43:55 interestingly for renaissance Kip has not mentioned science as a thing to be universally remembered (but art, architecture, music), but about present time he thinks descendants will consider important gaining knowledge about laws of the universe. Maybe similarly it will be e.g. movies, jazz and skyscrapers?
Each planet placement has a pathway of the spacing process of the vibration of the sun's different layers of warped space which is canceling and uncanceling the wavelength dimensional placement of numbers of gradually increasing and decreasing speeds and speeds of vibrations is the most telling they come in slow and then zip out faster than the normal space itself is warped enough to make it work this way it has spaceings and the floating density is measured in the timing to the wavelength dimensional placement and displacement
15:16 that's the "face" drawn in that 50,000 yo Cave painting. Those aren't faces those are black holes, It's a Star Map. Our Sun is a Star Gate.
This doc is heavy.
He said that it is hard to understand because there is no medium that this wave travels in; it is literally space itself that bends. The truth here is that, if he says that there is actually a medium in space that bends, he would be out of a job! Being open to that idea and willing to debate it is science. There is another word for being close minded about your beliefs or concepts.
Just start with the funding first. Worry about you job after. I guess all other waves bend space also via no medium.
what was that opening music?
Can I buy the Blu-Ray somewhere?
Two suns converted into one another I'm thinking that is the most telling point as if it was two black holes then how would a wave not get looped back in and not giving a gravity well to the wavelength of connections between each point
This is the Synder cut.
Does space smell?
Seriously, I don't know.
I'm sure tests have been done, but, I have never heard anything about it.
Can someone please answer this?
I'm happy to hear they have discovered something, LIGO is not too far from my home, who is funding this place? The site was built like 40 years ago.
The National Science Foundation! Yes, they spent 50+ years searching for these. The NSF funded the two observatories knowing that LIGO could not learn what it needed to learn without building the observatories and running them first. Which LIGO did, then spent 5 years upgrading them -- and then made the first detection a couple days even before the formal new launch.
If you walk from one place to another you are actually changing the position of the moon. It's not much, but it does affect.
In fact, you actually change the entire universe to a very tiny degree.
Describe the theoretical smallest units/composition/ matrix of space in some other great doc!
I.T. I.S. the Law of no Lows switching the 010 uni-verse
I was mystified by the original announcement. How did they know what the cause was? This is the first time I have seen the explanation: the templates calculated before hand. Too bad this wasn't explained on the day of the announcement.
Thank you for the video, and the brilliant physicists. I can see the color coded image of the signal received. How did you know its a collision of 2 black holes that happened a billion years ago. Why specifically a collision of black holes and not any other celestial event. We dont even know what exactly black holes are to know its a collision ⁉️⁉️⁉️ can someone with astronomy knowledge explain briefly please
I, as one, did the military thing when I was a young man, 63' - 66'. along about 2004-2012, I got two different types of cancers, lymphoma....first 2004, prostate....second 2008, if not for the VA any one of which could have killed me,
I turned 80 years old in July
2023. Now I have lived long enough to see the LIGO experiment finally start working. Back in 1963 or so
Scientists predicted that we
Would have FUSION REACTORS by 2015. I'm still waiting to see that.
They need to hurry up! I had another cancer in 2018 lung, if not for the VA I would be dead by now, and 'now' is the 7th of January
2024. Michael said that, bye for now my friends.
Big on the thrill of discovery, but, are they saying that gravity is a wave? I would like more on the science of just what gravity is.
No. My understanding is that what LIGO detects is the RESULTS of gravity, not gravity itself. Gravity is what caused the two black holes to collide in the first place, and the resulting "explosion" then propagates through space-time in the form of gravitational waves - this being a ripple of actual gravity through the vacuum of space as opposed to a sound wave or pressure wave or electromagnetic wave through air or space.
@@ThunderboltWisdom That's kinda what I thought. The ripple matches the rotation of the two black holes? It sounds like a really great day for instrumentation to detect his, I don't know of the further significance, but thanks.
Gravitational waves accelerate and slow time. Why don’t we just use an array of synchronized Cesium clocks spread across the continent for detection. It would take some calculations to break down the detection data but should be relatively easy and the event could be pinpointed in the sky as long as you had an array of three clocks. It would most certainly be much more cost effective than operating two LIGO’s.
Just Fking FANTASTIC!!!
Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Obervatory
Amazing work - just to hear it. Something like e = MC^2 for our generation.
