Nobel Lecture: Kip Thorne, Nobel Prize in Physics 2017

"LIGO and Gravitational Waves III"
Kip S. Thorne delivered his Nobel Lecture on 8 December 2017 at the Aula Magna, Stockholm University.

Those of us who have followed Prof. Kip Thorne's career think that this honour, Nobel Prize, is well deserved.

[@ShivaShaktification]

I had the great fortune to randomly attend one of his lectures on this topic back in 2001 at Penn State, amazingly great and very awesome to see he has actually won the Nobel 16 years later! And, I remember at that time in 2001, Kip Thorne told the audience that he didn't think that they would actually be able to test his theory about gravity waves within his lifetime! (you were WRONG about that sir!) :)

[@denijane89]

Prof. Thorne, I'd like to congratulate you for the prize, for the wonderful Nobel lecture, for having the integrity to mention the contribution of Vladimir Braginsky, for actually saying that LISA is an ESA mission, something which the other laureates kind of omitted (and gave the impression that LISA is part of the LIGO project) and for all the other details in which you were honest. God Bless you!

i know I'm pretty randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?

[@callencory454]

@Grayson Chance i use FlixZone. Just google for it =)

[@salvadorharrison397]

@Grayson Chance Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

[@ErickSantosNatalense]

The great Kip Thorne! I'm such a fan! What a magnificent human-being.

[@annihilus10]

Well deserved. This man's perseverance and theoretical brilliance put him in the pantheon of Newton, Einstein, and Planck.

[@priyabratadash381]

Its a wonderful lecture by Kip Throne. His contribution to gravitational cosmology is incredible . Gravitational wave is the tool with the help of which we can explore things that are far beyond of electromagnetism.

[@NicholasWingComposer]

Could a BH eventually collect enough gas and material to rebirth a star after an equivalent life cycle of 10 to 15 billion years? And did anyone happen to detect a gravitational wave disturbance of 10 to the -21 or less on Earth Day, April 22nd 1982?

[@dipuomosea3183]

Prof. Thorne and his team with 10(-21) T-shirts were practically racing against the 4th dimension!

[@veladhitan3527]

I do know he will surely get a Nobel prize for physics in astrophysics and gravitational physics after watching interstellar's superscript and the science behind interstellar !! LEGEND Nolan conducted the message of kip Thorne to us by interstellar clearly mesmerised after watching it great going prof.KIP THORNE

[@harviej]

I love how Kip Thorne spends all this time telling you he was such an idiot missing the obvious all this time. So funny to watch these three giants at the end just before they walk off like a bunch of guys that just won the super bowl but didn’t know they were starting.

Nobel Prize🌟Thank you Prof .that share your hard work and success for humans❤💚🌍🙏

[@johnccleary1980]

Wonderful lecture Prof Kip! And immense congratulations to you, your colleagues and teams involved. Yes, GW Astronomy is going to reveal to us many incredible wonders of the Cosmos!

[@omvinodjadhav1484]

Kip Thorne sir my is my favourite physicist

[@ibrahimnoon]

Truly an inspiration! Hope to meet him one day and thank him in person.

Well deserved, congratulations

If you are planning to study in Sweden as I wished long time ago be careful of some places. Karolinska Institute and hospital are the top corruption place in all Scandinavia. The minister of finance called for investigation of the cost of this luxurious hospital and they found out a giant mafia stealing huge money. Likewise, my group leader, Henrik Druid is a thief who has been robbing his own university (Karolinska Institute), VINNOVA, guest researchers and international collaborators. What makes it more disgusting is that the head of the department, Lars Holmgren and Maria von Witting (head of administration) lied to cover his robbery so are sharing him criminality. How disgusting!

[@tablasolo]

Love.😊

Thank you to all of you, and all physicists who probe the tiny & huge

I know him because of Sheldon Cooper

[@rafaelvaldiviamanrique6141]

I had a presentation about the LIGO in my school in 2017. I told my classmates "this is a ground-breaking discovery, they will get the Nobel..." . I got 15/20 because according to the teacher nobody in the class understood what I was talking about. Well I think the teacher regretted not giving me the highest score after all...

*The Achilles heel of the black hole exist in its core, the singularity, also referred to as the maddening enigma!* The absurdity is in the math. a singularity (point) with infinite temperature and infinite density and zero volume, and to add insult to injury, this point (with no x.y.z dimensional extensions) also rotates or spins, this type of reasoning contradicts the laws of physics and the governing rules of mathematics (dividing by zero which is undefined in mathematics but made acceptable in astrophysics). Believing in such an entity such as a black hole, is physics for the gullible *(physics absurdum)!* *The folly of modern physics is in* *Confusing mathematical adstractions with reality of the universe, is a monumental mistake,* for example; mathematically you can divide a unit of length infinitely, but in the real world this is not possible. So the only solution to this enigma is that black holes cannot exist in the real universe! *For something that is false will always be incomplete.*

[@kwesiattasakyi4978]

Great great lecture showing that to see further means standing on the shoulders of giants as said by Isaac Newton. Can these things be the long term effects of global warming?

no

The Best Prize in the World. NOBEL PRIZE is the Most Greatfull.

[@kwesiattasakyi4978]

Do these things explain why at high speeds, distance/space does not exist and time is of no significance in the short term, except in the long run? The gravitational and electronic waves are difficult to understand. Does this relate to the music of the spheres referred to by Pythagoras many years ago that the planetary motions of the planets create music. Is it true in this sense that straight lines are the same as curves in space relatively?

[@DeathBringer769]

Yup, you can go totally "straight" from your perspective, but since you're traveling along the fabric of space itself, which can be curved, your ultimate worldline would also be a curved line. So you can go "straight" but still end up curved due to the curvature of space, but anyone observing you from within that same curvature of space would just see you appearing to go "straight" as well. If you could observe from far enough away you might be able to see the curved nature of it though, given that the space the observer locally occupies isn't curved in a similar manner as well.

[@pintificate]

Ravings of a madman. You don't need to be taken in folks. Goobledegook pure and simple. Is it not obvious?

[@annihilus10]

no

[@ptrsrrll]

Clearly you are speaking in the 1st person..

*”They were discovered” or maybe not?. The case of mistaken identity* The LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) project when analyzed is actually a seismic device which measures vibration in the Sub atomic scale. The reported chirp signal detection that is declared to be gravitational wave could be a signal related to quantum noise. *What is quantum noise?* Quantum noise may be observed in any system where conventional sources of noise (industrial noise, vibrations, fluctuations of voltage in the electric power supply, thermal noise due to Brownian motion, etc.) are suppressed and yet random vibration can still be detected. This phenomenon is considered to be part of the ‘quantum foam’ that are ever present, which cannot be filtered out. It’s interesting to note, that the LIGO system is also picking up hundreds of glitches per day, in which scientists have no clue of their origins, nevertheless, they will never bring these fact to light in these lectures. I wonder why? This being a reality of the physical world, *it becomes plausible that the chirp (gravitational waves) is actually related the quantum noise phenomenon and not with a cosmic event, such as black holes a neutron stars.* *How about, collaborating evidence?* The GRBs. *Faulty collaborating evidence:* The collaborating evidence presented for these gravitational waves is gamma ray bursts that seem to be correlated with the signal chips. But there is a problem with this evidence, that is, the difficulty in Establishing an ironclad cause and effect relationship between commonly occurring gamma burst events and gravitational Chirps. Every day, the sky lights up with a spectacular flash of gamma-rays coming from deep space. The brightness of this flash of gamma-rays can temporarily overwhelm all other gamma-ray sources in the universe. The burst can last from a fraction of a second to over a thousand seconds. The commonality and Random nature of these GammaRay burst makes it impossible to connect these events with the GW signal with any high degree of confidence.
