  • Professor Kip Thorne is a theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate. In this talk he discusses "My Romance with the Warped Side of the Universe: from Black Holes and Wormholes to Time Travel and Gravitational Waves".
    Kip is a world-leading expert on the implications of Einstein's theory of General Relativity, from time travel to wormholes, and from black holes to gravitational waves. Until 2009 he was the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech, but has since retired to take up a new career in writing, and collaborations between science and art. He was executive producer and scientific adviser on Interstellar, the 2014 blockbuster film. One of Kip's key contributions was the visualisation of black holes and their surroundings, which contributed to the film winning an Oscar for "Best Visual Effects". Kip explained the science in the film in his 2014 book The Science of Interstellar. His many other multimedia projects have cemented his reputation to be able to explain complex concepts in ways that everyone can understand.
    As one of the founders of LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory), Kip was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics for "decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves, along with Rainer Weiss and Barry C. Barish. The first detection of gravitational waves by LIGO (of which Cardiff University is a member) in 2015 confirmed a key part of Einstein's theory of General Relativity, and observations have continued to test one of science's most famous theories.

The book Kip Thorne wrote for Interstellar is absolutely brilliant, if no one has read it I'd highly recommend it 👌

      4) the universe was born hot relative to the temperature now. The hot then got converted into the space now.
      At a quantum scale, the universe is eternally boiling. The boiling is fluctuating space time that is warped into what we call matter.
      So it turns out the universe is empty of objects.

      3) space time is around the singularity like an electromagnetic field is around a planet. That is the simple version. A donut shape.
      Next step, every singularity is identical, only the surrounding (space time) changes. Now your donut has black holes that are connected at the center.
      Next step is stranger. Every point on the donut is a singularity. So where ever you are you are in the singularity as the singularity. You observe it all as space time.

Maybe he believes it to be the case, but he shouldn't say it in lectures. It's just wrong. There are also a lot of analogies that are at the edge of being wrong, if not plain wrong. Like saying a horizon is a sphere. It's not even a well defied region of space-time (it depends of where the observer is), and it's a pure surface, technically.

      In normal case, gravity between 2 objects is 4 times weaker when object is moved 2 times further away from the other body. In a case of a black hole and some lighter object close to the black hole it isn't the same. It's very hard to describe in words how it looks like, but imgaine a twisted gear shaft (wider at one end). 1.bp.blogspot.com/-OkjFbNa5UEA/XXof5Rp_gvI/AAAAAAAABA0/t4RLFUGIZuUdLbw-LTZOQCNwoPXF9WHawCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Helical%2Bgearshaft.jpg
      If a black hole was inside that gear, then smaller object would move up and down in those threads when moving to the center of the black hole. "Threads" are where jets form, when matter falls into a black hole.

    • @musicalfringe
      @musicalfringe Před 3 lety +1

      It seems to me that this could be explained by analogy to special relativity.
      SR time dilation makes an object accelerate "not fast enough" for the applied force when it's close to lightspeed, and I believe you can model this as it accelerating normally in the Newtonian sense, but with the increase in time dilation hiding some of the speed increase in such a way that, by f=ma, the outside observer instead "sees" the object get more massive. This is only an analogy, but I think it works.
      The radiation of ever-stronger gravitational waves by e.g. co-orbiting black holes is a constant drain on their gravitational potential energy - it's why the GW reaches a sudden climax rather than asymptotically increasing in frequency. So in the same spirit of analogy, if you look at this from the assumption that GWs do not exist, that potential-energy drain looks like a gravitational force that increases in strength the closer together they get.
      Am I on track here anyone?

    And with frequency, I was told one of the frequencies either radiation or microwaves shows heat the more you see expand means it's producing heat (not sure if true) but it just popped into my head if we can then see heat in frequency does that mean the emptiness around that frequency mean it's cold?
