>where were you when gravitational waves were confirmed?

Well last time I was taking a dump, coincidentally I was also taking a dump when it was announced that the majority of the signal they detected was likely just dust. This time I'll probably be on 4chan, but I'm going to try and keep the tradition going and be taking a shit when they announce this one as well.

Also holy shit 100k viewers. I'm laging like shit did I miss anything?

If some super advanced aliens created a craft capable of warping space/time for FTL travel, would it create a gravitational ripple that we can hear or detect?

>>7850896
Holy shit, has one of the LIGOs actually detected something or are you guys just meming?

Also, daily reminder that ITER will happen this year.

>>7850896
HOLY FUCK IT'S ACTUALLY TRUE

This is the biggest scientific discovery in my lifetime. I am so excited right now, I've even called my sister. FUCK. I love you /sci/entists. I love all of you.

>>7851000
>>7851026
First direct observation of Black holes, another confirmation of GR, graviton must be massless, a number of other things.

>>7851081

>discovery

It's just proving what we've known for 100 years though.

>>7851035
There's a link to the livestream in the OP.

>>7851081

Is your sister hot? Can I fuck her?

>>7851093
Yeah, the Higga is probably a bigger deal, because it requires the alteration of things like the SM Lagrangian, as opposed to a confirmation of things we already theorized and had worked out.

Didn't scientists already work with the gravitational waves before this? This just means we can detect them on Earth, right?

>>7851092
>graviton must be massless
Can someone corroborate on why this is? I thought it only confirmed gravity has a speed limit why does that also imply a massles graviton.

And how does this change my life?

>>7851093
Lets not focus on semantics at a great time like this.

>>7851102
Nah, but she is pretty much a genius though.

>>7851105
Ok, I can see your point there desu. Maybe not the greatest, but still pretty fucking great.

>>7851112
This is the first experimental proof of their existence.
And yes. Since they can be detected over huge distances it's a pretty big deal.

Good job humanity on showing how great 1% of us are and also how fucking pathetic 99% of you are

Actual question from someone who knows a little bit about relativity.
How can gravity waves escape black holes? EM waves are pulled inside because they have energy - and according to GR, if I understand correctly, gravity affects energy and not mass (which still works with mass because E=mc^2)
So gravity waves have no energy? But how is this possible?
Or maybe I was wrong, gravity does not 'work' on energy nor mass, it just bends space-and Gravity waves are part of space, not something inside it.

>>7850896
ironically, in a physics lecture

If gravity is made of waves, does this mean it travels at the speed of light or less?
So if the sun blows up right NOW, do we only feel it here moments after or at the exact moment?

Fuck you faggots I laughed so hard I cried man that chat was so fucking hilarious. Even more if you speak 4 languages and advance memetics holy fuck it was great lol

>>7851140
Does this prove the existence of meme waves?

>>7851177
You should go back that chat and stay there.

>>7851141
F = GmM/r^2
F = ma
a = GM/r^2

The event horizon of a Blackhole is the r such that the a = c and thus nothing can accelerate past it. Gravitational waves are produced outside the event horizion.

>>7851154
You have fucking autism.

>These observations demonstrate the existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems

so fucking what

>>7851192

>Gravitational waves are produced outside the event horizion.

OH thank you. That's what I've been missing.
I really don't know enough about GR so my understanding of gravity waves is limited.
Again, thx for the explanation.

Wait so gravitational waves can escape from inside the black hole?

>>7851193
>>7851180
Cool story b

>>7851217
Read the thread before posting.

>>7851140

Well, fuck Allah

>>7851202
The existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems might lead to the existence of ternary stellar-mass black hole systems.

>>7851114
No massless particle can move at the speed of light so graviton must be massless.

>>7851240
Alright thanks.

>>7851240
Oh so that is why they can escape the black hole.

>>7851240
Many things with mass also move slower than the speed of light. You are literally retarded.

>>7851237
SO FUCKING WHAT

>>7851252
>>7851250
I meant no MASSIVE particle can move at the speed of light.

>>7851240
>>7851245
>>7851250
>>7851252
According to what Kip just said, the data just limits the maximum graviton rest mass to ~10-55 g, not zero.

>>7851257
So fucking what your so fucking what.

>>7851183
Oh look at me I'm so serious lolol look at me

Uneducated plebian here, excuse the ignorance.

What does this mean for quantum physics?
Doesn't quantum physics not mesh well with relativity because of they disagree what happens around black holes? ( I believe Hawking radiation is one of the problems)

Is quantum physics disproven?

Why did they end it?

>>7851279

No not at all. This has little to do with quantum physics as a whole, although it does support some niche aspects of it like "is there a particle that carries gravitational waves?".

This is just finding the last missing piece in Einsteins general relativity that we predicted but couldnt evidence.

You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free

Look inside girl

>>7851339

nice bait

We can use this confirmation to create a new breed of astronomical "gravitational telescopes" that will allow us to detect obscured events and measure stellar masses to extraordinary degrees of accuracy.

It also points towards several other fields of research, most notably quantum physics which now must start the search for the "graviton" in earnest.

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

So is there any reasonable potential for multiverses or is that just popsci hype?

Hi there!

You seem to have made the mistake of assuming I give a fuck! The truth is, I do not. Therefore, you are now free to pursue more productive endeavors than following me around on a forum to bitch about the particular way I post.

Haha, very funny, faggot. Now shut up and let's talk science.

Does this imply a better understanding of gravity and possible manipulation?

>>7850896

How does this even work? Do the black hole explode ? imagine if the gravity waves travel like waves in the ocean? i'm a scientist

I AM A HUGE FAGGOT PLEASE FUCK MY FACE

>>7851575
with a hammer?

>>7851514

Manipulation would be unlikely. You need truly massive objects moving with high acceleration to produce these effects.

Better understanding of gravity? Yes, we can test general relativity more carefully against the other competing theories of gravitation.

Also we now have a way of probing astrophysical processes which doesn't involve light, neutrinos, or cosmic rays. This will have implications for cosmology.
