The Warped Side of the Universe: Kip Thorne at Cardiff University

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.

Questions: (1) What is space expanding into? (2) What is time? (3) Where does spacetime come from? (4) Why was the universe born hot and dense to begin with?

[@dmign]

1) nothing 2) entropy 3) the big bang 4) unknown

[@aurelienyonrac]

1) the big bang is not an ex-plosion, something that goes outside. The big bang is an implosion. So the whole universe is in a point right now as we speak. We are looking at the inside of a point from the inside. We are looking at the potential of a point.

[@aurelienyonrac]

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.

[@aurelienyonrac]

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.

[@YYFGGUKYGJSHBJSHBJLS]

1) Itself 2) Time is the measurement of the entropy of the Universe. 3) The Big Bang ... (part 2: And ... nobody knows. To be even more depressing, no one will EVER know) 4) Because that was the particular properties of the BB singularity (see answer 3 part 2)

[@powerzx]

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]

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?

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

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.

@@abhineet_2225 Warping , as far i understand that SF term , is taking a kind of shortcut through the space-time continuum , like travelling through a wormhole which connects remote co-ordinates - it's Fiction , not Faction

[@abhineet_2225]

@@Flailfist_Jr Ahh, okay. I always used to get confused when it was explained through the "paper folding" method. Like, how could space-time, a physical quantity be warped or curved that ways. Well, it's probably a thought I guess because it'd take negative matter (so as to have gravitational repulsion to sustain the pathway), which is far away from being considered as existential stuff🥲

Absolutely a superb talk. the universe goes crazy inside a Black Hole.. Beyond comprehension.

beyond comprehension? Yes because it's not real, all these so-called geniuses have fooled themselves and the public!

The matrix was a documentary.

[@Phelan666]

The Matrix was a misinterpretation of Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation.

[@KyleDB150]

Don't read the comments, they're full of mouth breathers who think quantum mechanics isn't experimentally verified and black holes hasn't been observed. Educate yourselves, read about the history of the standard model, watch a documentary about how the black hole images were generated (Spoilers: two independent teams analysed the raw data while never taking a peek at the final results to prevent bias, and the resultin images matched)

@witkrieg todd I wouldn't put too much faith in Dr. Pierre Marie when it comes to astrophysics. His ideas on CMB and BBR have been shown to be problematic on numerous levels.

[@TheRealFlenuan]

I agree the comments are egregiously stupid. Anyone who can disprove the material being presented should do so and win their Nobel Prize

23:50 is where you get explanation of why the images are different!

There is a great idea! For the dark side of the Universe - suppose that it consists of short-term interactions in long-lived fractal networks, the smallest quantum operators - Spherical «rosebuds», consisting of a large set; 1 - rolled into a sphere, 2 - half rolled into a sphere and 3 - flat, vibrating quantum membranes relative to their working centers in the sphere.

This may sound weird, but "Black Holes & Time Warps" actually changed my life.

[@ajstephenson5583]

how so?

[@DavidVillasmil]

@@ajstephenson5583 it turned me straight into physics, cosmology, particle physics, and just basically being an exceptic for the rest of my life, etc. it changed the way I saw the world as a whole. That book and “A demon haunted world” by Carl Sagan.

[@ajstephenson5583]

@@DavidVillasmil i’m glad man, I’ve recently got into astrophysics after taking a physics course in high school this year and I honestly have never been more fascinated by a subject in my life. Any other books you recommend?

[@DavidVillasmil]

@@ajstephenson5583 sure, I would highly recommend Brian Greene’s “The Elegant Universe”, I’ve never read a better explanation as to why time slows down as speed increases, it’s just amazing. I would also recommend Carl Sagan’s “Demon Haunted World” which really teaches us to be skeptic about everything we don’t yet know/understand, and the early work by Michio Kaku “Hyperspace” and “parallel worlds”, also very good reads. And on a different subject, but incredibly mind-opening book “Sapiens” by Yuval Noah Harari. Go to Amazon and search for “Cosmology”, there are some jewels there.
