EPISODE 8 - LIGO: A DISCOVERY THAT SHOOK THE WORLD

[@fasvi1285]

I love these videos. Thank you for making the whole series. It's been two years, since you last video, so it would be a lot of fun to see a follow up video detailing the discoveries made in the intervening time.

Episode 10 - on the 80 more detections LIGO has made since our last episode - is in production and will be released this May, 2023! COVID delayed production after the end of LIGO's third science run and the many major discovery announcements that followed.

"Squeezing the vacuum" - that is essentially Scotty's Heisenberg compensator. Beam me up! 👍

[@brainstormingsharing1309]

Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Has it ever occurred to you that these astrophysicists are seeing what they want to see, in other words, they are practicing confirmation bias.

[@imaseeker100]

How about naming it compression instead of squeezing?

[@brittsbit8847]

Awesome! My question would be how the gravitational waves effect our earth? That is very interesting and opens up a whole new outlook on the universe.

Analysis: Technically the *LIGO interferometer is not a telescope, but in reality it's a seismic microscope.* Which is inadvertently probing, not the outer world of the cosmos, but instead it is magnifying the inner world of the "Quantum Foam." images.app.goo.gl/nSFkh9v2S2VXhcQY6

"Measure blackholes OUT of the edge of the Universe"? OMG!!!!! s2 s2 s2 s2

[@advancedligodocumentarypro442]

Professor Adhikari said, "...out TO the edge of the universe, not out OF the edge!" But that's OMG too!!!!

Seeing these Max Plank Institute people makes me wonder about what Bernie Schutz is up to these days.

[@advancedligodocumentarypro442]

He's a professor at Cardiff University now, in Wales, and won the 2020 Richard A. Isaacson Award in Gravitational-Wave Science given by the American Physical Society "For pioneering and decisive contributions to the development and successful implementation of analysis techniques required to detect and interpret gravitational-wave signals."

[@charlesbromberick4247]

Thanks - we were occasional lab partners as undergrads. and Bernie was always a serious student and a nice guy. I still remember doing the Milliken Oil Drop Experiment with him.@@advancedligodocumentarypro442

For one satellite more you gain a tetraeter and measure in 3D instead of of 2d, use a brain.
