  • The David and Edith Harris Physics Colloquium Series
    Thursday, 2/25/16 in room 10-250
    Rainer Weiss, Professor of Physics Emeritus, MIT
    “100 Years of Gravitational Waves: The Observation of a Binary Black Hole Collision"
    The complex history of gravitational waves from Einstein's initial hypothesis to this month's direct measurement will be briefly presented. The instrument that made the detection and the measured waveforms will be described followed by a vision for the future of the field of gravitational wave astronomy.

    Great lecture, I really wanted to learn about the noise sources.
    Also, congratulations on the recent Neutron-star / Neutron-star detection and its observed coincident EM/Visible event! (that happened after this lecture). What an incredible validation.

    I remember studying gravitation and general relativity in college. It was the most profound course of study I've taken in class. I remember my teacher saying how important it is to come up with a good mathematical notation, because without it, the theory would be very difficult to process and work with and that Einstein himself came up with a very good notation for general relativity. Although I've forgotten all of that now, I felt that General Relativity is a sign that humans are capable of comprehending the observable universe at its most profound.

    This is the first time I've heard an explanation of the ring down phase - see 51:00 - excellent.

    Now you can add a Nobel Prize to the list.

    Mass in kilograms = Charge in Coulombs squared x 10 to the power minus 7 divided by distance between two charges in meters. So, gravitational waves = electromagnetic waves. Any difference between them can only be their respective wavelengths and frequencies, and nothing else.

    JESUS !!!!! Universe creator and ambassador of love💘 my true inspiration. ............. There's a fine line between upward rising and downward falling motion and its only molecules difference which is visible in real time by tossing an object upward to see it smoothly turn around into a downward falling motion depicting earth's orbit. ............. Upward rising motion is the result of molecules in motion fired🔥up by its electrons creating an ENERGY FLOW. .............. Downward falling motion begins when rising gas molecules becomes trapped known as gas bonding taking on a state of solid mass blocking its electrons fire🔥power causing it to loosing motion and falls downward as ENERGY LOCK . ............. All downward falling motion including Newton's apple 🍎 does so from ENERGY LOCK which is trapped gas molecules within solid objects taking on a state of solid mass blocking its electrons fire🔥power becoming motionless. .............. Water too is motionless with trapped gas molecules known as oxygen hydrogen gas bonding taking on a state of solid mass blocking its electrons fire🔥power becoming motionless unable to rise until sunlight energy splits its trapped molecules freeing the gases which then rise upward into the atmosphere to continue its bonding cycle with gas becoming water again and falls downward as raindrops. ............... Electrons from trapped gas molecules are also motionless but always on high alert poised for action willing and ready to connect with the earth at the speed of light establishing a downward falling path/ motion for trapped gas molecule objects only. .............. On the opposite side upward rising motion is brilliantly conformed as the ruling force of the universe named ENERGY FLOW with gas molecules in motion fired🔥up by its electrons within raging star flames earth gases birds and balloons plains and rockets even us humans rise from ENERGY FLOW, yes ! The ruling force of the universe. ............. Note ! Jupiter robbed of its downward falling motion by upward rising gas storms overriding all surface activity's, Jupiter do not have a downward falling motion thus its gravity free. ............ Jupiter is an ENERGY FLOW planet with molecules in motion fired🔥up by its electrons creating a massive energy attraction system pulling in numerous moons compared to earth, which is an ENERGY LOCK planet with trapped gas molecules within its solid body blocking its electrons fire🔥power so reducing its surface atmospheric activity's attracting less moons. ............... Earth was once covered with gas clouds same as Jupiter is today and GOD said let there be light and there was light streaming through bonding oxygen hydrogen gas clouds making oceans of water the sky's cleared wide open for golden sunlight entrance .............. Visit CZcams SUNLIGHT ELECTRO RAYS showing planetary orbit's powered by sunlight energy flow not gravity.

    MIT Remains proud of it's involvement in the 'Plutonium Files'. Smell the coffee yet? Next you'll be telling us Monsanto cares. Smfh.

    Thank goodness Kip Thorn didn't give this talk. His speech problem (saying, "kuuuuuuuuh" every other sentence) is so annoying I just can't stand listening to anything he says, no matter how interesting the topic is.
