space thread

We can now truly see the universe. See things you wouldn't believe.

Holy shit they prove that already!

Many people thought Einstein might be wrong

requesting simpliefied tl;dr

>100 years old theory that pretty much everyone took for fact nowadays confirmed real

yeah... not a big discovery, really

If every substances have wave and particle duality, does that mean a meme also has a wave form like memetic wave?

that's some damn cool shit

>>54924191

The short of it is we can see areas of space wherein the flow time is being fucked with by massive gravitational waves.

The long of it means our model of the universe is now verified to be extremely accurate, and we could eventually do things like potentially create gravity waves powerful enough to slow our own passage through time. (Sort of like taking a spacecraft and flying near the speed of light). Don't expect us to have enough energy to do anything close in our lifetimes tho.

is it over>

Will we have levitation cars?

i've always felt enormous gravitational waves from america created by those fatties though

>>54924236

That's like saying the invention of the telescope is not a big deal because we already knew celestial objects existed and could project their movements with math.

Can someone tell me so now can we create levitating cars etc?

>>54924753

>>54925108

Yeah I guess.

>>54924753

no
It would be the same if Galileo said that the Moon really exists, since he saw it through his telescope.

>>54925052

No, this is about physical confirmation of our existing theories and our newly gained ability to measure and analyze these gravity waves.

We can now detect massive events and their effects in the universe. It's a new window and tool of knowledge.

Who here hyped for Warp Storms?

>>54924236
Rasheed

>>54925108
to be fair, so are you

>>54924753
no it's not, that's a bad analogy.

>>54925347
If its wave light is also wave, we could create light bulbs etc. why cant we create some apparatus like that with gravitational waves?

WE already call dibs on the moon, Mars and the Galilean Moons

You yuros can try your best at comets lel

>>54925244

LIGO and it's instruments are what the telescope would be to Galileo.

Your mom appreciated me last night

>>54925556
You can appreciate them without having a PhD in physics...
I'm in the 3rd year of my physics studies and I didn't learn anything related to this topic yet, or very very few things

>>54925516
I think this point is being over-hyped a bit 2bh. These interferometers offer basically no indication of the direction of the source (you need more than one to guess at where the signal came from) and they are ridiculously expensive to build.
It's still pretty exciting though.

>>54925668
Explain why we cant do this>>54925478
Its wave like light we could use it for our benefit

>>54925478
>>54925750


Because you need huge amount of mass to create a gravitational wave we can detect. Like a black hole or a neutron star.

>>54925478
>why cant we create some apparatus like that with gravitational waves?
kek well the amounts of gravity needed to create these waves come from supermassive black holes and supernovas etc, the amount of energy and mass needed to make these would be like... 100000 suns or something.

Dunno what we'd do with em atm anyway though, I'm not a scientist I don't understand the possibilities the discovery holds yet.

>>54925734
>you need more than one to guess at where the signal came from

Which is why Caltech and MIT set up two of them and more are being built.

The ability to detect these waves did not exist before. As of today, it has been confirmed that we do.

And we can in fact infer direction and distance. And much more.

>>54925750
because you need huge black holes or neutron stars (i.e. things several times the mass of our sun) to create gravitational waves. I doubt there will ever be commercial applications of gravitational waves, they just offer us a new way to look at the universe.

>>54925556
proving that gravity does affect space and time was a major thing. But it was proven many years ago, this just feels like a less important, more obscure side-proof.

We can continue to measure gravity ripples over time, sure... But I don't see how's that going to be scientifically useful in the long run

lmao who cares?

>>54925750
No fucking idea I learned nothing about that as I said.

My guess would be that gravitational waves that produce enough energy to light a bulb would be extremly hard to make here on earth.

And if we produce one with that much energy it would probably be mess with the solar system a lot

>>54925842
The error on the triangulation is still pretty big though (I tried to access the PRL paper for the current event but their servers are swamped atm). I'm just saying they are very different in operation and function from optical telescopes.

>We can continue to measure gravity ripples over time, sure... But I don't see how's that going to be scientifically useful in the long run
use your imagination man

maybe we'll be able to surf on strong gravity waves, increasing travel speed or decreasing energy needed to travel.

Maybe with enough energy we could make our own gravity waves and use them to shoot us across space really fast.

And as far as I know, this is the first time we've proven/measured gravity affecting energy. I could be wrong though.

>>54926092
Is there anything on 4chan safe from /pol/tards?

What the absolute fug is up with /sci/'s superiority complex?
A lot of their threads devolve into: I'm better than you dumbass, no I'm better than you dumbass, ad nauseum.

The thing that bugs me is that in a month or two they're gonna say "oops there was an error in the testing procedure" so I'm not getting hyped up yet

>>54926182
Never been on /sci/ but that doesn't surprise me. I bet there's a lot of armchair scientists on there.

>>54925973
The formation of binary black hole systems involves a lot of not-so-well understood astrophysics. Studying binary black hole systems through these events will let us learn a lot more about stellar evolution over a range of timescales.

>>54926182
It's full of bitter undergraduates who take out their sexual frustration by telling people on the internet how dumb they are.

It's full of teenagers and people who want to get paid to become a science, but actually are struggling learning how to do basic calculus and all that. There are some actual scientists, but they're usually limited to some threads in which people actually speak about specific subjects (like organic chemistry, or mechanical engineering).

I hope they bring back Elvis

sorry m8 it's been proven that the only thing denser than a supermassive black hole was elvis' arteries

>>54926827

ISn't a neutrino star the most dense thing in the universe ?

Bravo!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZGINaRUEkU

>>54926951
It's the densest thing that has structure (that we know of). Black holes are technically more dense but they don't have material structure, just a singularity.

Dwarf Fortress' ASCII imaged waves in motion.

Since this is space thread i will post this video here it proves my idea about robots building homes that protects from radiation thats why we need advanced AI. Last Spacex thread's op said that we dont need robots there couple of anons supported him, one cs student even said AI can be used only to decipher ciphered messages, you can teach AI whatever you want it to do it for you

The most immediate benefits come from new kinds of technologies they develop to measure these things. Maybe in 50 or 100 years we can use actual gravitational waves for something
