LIGO and gravitational waves w Brian Greene and Joe Rogan

[paulrawlinson]

LIGO is probably mans greatest technological achievement thus far

[youtubersdigest]

That’s amazing. 100 years later though that’s sad that he never got to see it. Human life span sucks

[diagnostician]

I just recently learned that i actually live near the LIGO Hanford observatory. It's about a 30-minute drive from my location within the tri-cities. Hanford observatory has a science center for people to visit, though i personally have not visited yet. It is now on my to do list. When i learned that LIGO handord was north of Richland, Washington, i got really excited.

I could a poem from his beautiful words 😭

[GraV]

I love watching videos like this because it makes me feel dumb, and humbles me beyond belief. I have incredible respect for the people who are not only able to figure all this stuff out, but also how to dumb down everything try enough so everyday dum dums like myself can understand.

[mrollins]

Amazing the things these guys dream up

[douglastaylorbud]

now this is what I'm talkin about! Job well done keep up the good work Mister Rogan you keep this shit up and you might have to run for fucking present one day I'm telling you get your head clear ready yourself the day is fast approaching sir. carry on Soldier!

So how does this wave effect real time now, then and in the future?

[audiophile]

in the time perspective of the universe it was a mere fraction if a moment where this strange planet had produced the strangest of lifeforms. This wondrous being conceived a thought and then built a machine to catch this idea JUST IN TIME!!!

[topg-]

Your channel always fascinates me, truly and deeply love your contents ❤❤❤, bcs of your channel I got interest in physic and quantum physic.❤❤❤

[nickwaynick]

How often have gravitational waves been detected?

[Kohaku_Akamitsu]

actually, If we get hit by one we wouldnt even notice it anyway. because as we observe it we see it like it was normal but if there was someone not being affected by gravity sees us, he would see earth timelapse and become normal. but we would only see him in extreme slow-mo

[kenbattor]

I basically understand how they detect the waves but how do they determine where they came from?

[alexchudilovski]

Gravitational waves... Gravity is what sustains space time, how narrow and at the same time how strong the wave should be to disrupt our space time. In other words when does the gravitational wave become "ionizing"? Is it going to be a localized rip?
I once wrote my understanding of one theory that in short sounds like this, for wave to become particle there must be a container, waves in an enclosed environment reaching the border will bounce back and on the way back can "stack up" (interferention). To make particle a stable particle, the one and only out of infinity, the borders of the enclosed environment, the container must be vibrating wave-like, but unlike wave that has a constant flow through environment the borders must be "flickering" they disappearing and back appearing, but for the wave they always exist, either on the top, or bottom hill, so that when back wave is produced it stacks up perfectly, and the appearance and disappearance of the borders solves the problem with all the other waves that can exist in the environment, they don't because of that.
Now, can the gravitational wave that is produced by the merger of two black holes, after passing through our environment, can this wave "catch" our borders off guard? What can be said about nature of the borders then?

[JAYBODDY]

Black holes will consume themselves until there are only two left. I present to you, your “big bang theory “. We do it all over again and again.

[CarAngel]

Do you realize that most of the distant universe we now see, may not even exist anymore?

[mexicarspotter]

And here we are today with the breaking space news, they have just been observed finally!!!

[justaguyreal]

Einstein predicted them about 1.8 billion years after the one we noticed hit us. WOW

[inkagiz]

There’s not enough milk in my cereal. I’m pissed.

[michaelswisher]

So I always wondered why, if spacetime can move faster than light, why does gravity act at the speed of light? Why wouldn't these gravitational waves move faster than light?
