  • Science is on the verge of observing the ripples in spacetime caused by moving black holes; these gravitational waves will open a new window to the universe of things we can't see with light - things that could unlock some of the deepest mysteries about the universe.
    Kelly Holley‐Bockelmann is an Associate Professor of Astronomy at Vanderbilt University, where she joined the faculty in 2007. She received her B.S. in Physics at Montana State University and her PhD in Astronomy in 1999 at the University of Michigan. After her PhD, she did postdoctoral work at Case Western Reserve University and the University of Massachusetts. In 2004, she joined the Center for Gravitational Wave Physics at The Pennsylvania State University. She is a recipient of a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation , is a Vanderbilt Chancellor Faculty Fellow, and her work has also been supported by NASA. Dr. Holley ­Bockelmann’s research on growing supermassive black holes and rogue black holes have been featured in many online and print media outlets, though she still gets a bit nervous talking to the press.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    Idk how to say this well... it's like she's just talking to you. Like you're the new guy, you're both in the break room, and she's just excitedly telling you about herself and this research she adores. A touch nervous at times, but only in the best way that makes her that much more real. It's utterly captivating.

    The humble(ness) (of the) universe, despite the most powerful collisions ever happening, is the most beautiful thing one can ever witness. The fact that gravitational waves were observed and all they left was a gentle voice, a chirp, a soft wave, despite that grand energy collision holds a simple thought - humble yourself in the awe of that which holds you, moves you, and with that of which you are made dear starstuff. Thank you, dear fellow scientists, it is tears of awe that tears were made for.

    I realize it may sound wild, but I genuinely think that gravitational waves serve as the method for advanced civilizations to communicate. It's similar to an upgraded edition of radio waves. Unlike radio waves, gravitational waves remain unaffected by mass interference. Consequently, it becomes an optimal and effective means to transmit data signals throughout the vast expanse of the universe. Perhaps, in the future, we will possess the ability to communicate in this manner and decipher the messages encoded within.

  • @michaelccopelandsr7120

    I've been posting this story for a while, now. Is it possible they're related?
    Time is fascinating. I worked the subway stations for nearly 10 years. From one end of the city to the other. Every so often I would notice the city would be saying that, "Today just flew by" or "The day was just dragging along." How can an entire city, with no interaction with each other until they used the subway, complain about the same time paradox unless it was effected by it? Maybe a time distorted bubble the earth passes through in its revolution around the sun. Maybe random waves of time distortion hitting the earth? Maybe they're given off by the sun. Maybe they're from outside our Terran system and reach us in intervals. ???? Ti-i-i-ime, is on my side. Yes, it is!

    • @theneonpogodancer608
      @theneonpogodancer608 Před 8 lety

      Yeah. You technically age slightly faster when you are closer to the center of the the earth. So, if you lie down, you are technically experiencing time much faster than you would be if you were standing up. And yeah, there are plenty of hypotheses that state that we could harness this type of wave to travel through space. That's why this discovery is so exciting. It will open us to new possibilities we can't even dream of yet.

      The Neon Pogo Dancer Actually if you find yourself in a stronger gravitational field, it is not that you expirience a dilation of time, it is your "clock" to become slower. So you would feel the time exactly like normal, but a second of your clock is more than a second of a clock in a weaker gravitational field.
