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)

He is wrong. I really don't know why he says that. We can ever be sure if it's really flat, but for all we can measure, it's still as flat as it can be. Really wonder why he says that? 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]

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?

This video doesn't show the trip through the wormhole! what the heck. we only see the useless shots of the projection screens when he shows it.

Could there be a connection between the strangely shaped orbits around a singularity and the unpredictability of electron position around a nucleus?

Way better than church !!!! The only thing missing ( or i overheard it ) is a clear definition of "warped" , but _what_ a journey this was - i never got my PHD , but i sure got my PHEW here 💪🙏👊

[@abhineet_2225]

I felt that too. What does warping actually mean..

[@Flailfist_Jr]

@@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🥲

Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS E=MC2 is F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. TIME DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. ("Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY.) GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. (Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. E=MC2 IS F=ma.) "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent with/AS what is BALANCED electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense, AS BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand !!! (Very importantly, outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black.) E=MC2 is CLEARLY F=ma. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. A PHOTON may be placed at the center of what is THE SUN (as A POINT, of course), AS the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the speed of light (c); AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. E=MC2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. The Earth is ALSO CLEARLY then E=MC2 AS F=ma ON BALANCE !!! GREAT !!! By Frank DiMeglio

[@ChadHavoc]

So four things I'm not at all smart, I like to try my best at learning things, so I am right in saying gravitational waves are faster than speed of light? And I said ages ago to someone who said I was wrong but from the look of the black hole I said it must have a north and south, is that correct? 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? And finally, so far that I know noise can create light called sonoluminescence, but is it possible the light/aura whatever it is that we see around a black hole is sonoluminescence?

[@thesunexpress]

Wormholes are cute & all, and an excellent hand-wave-away option when the interstellar travel conundrum is brought up... but how will a wormhole be manipulated in order to have some semblance of control over where the 'exit' of the wormhole will be? Would really suck if the 'exit' is actually located 2 meters below the surface of a neutron star. Or Alien John's dining room. Worse yet: the bedroom closet of Alien John's daughter, at night.

The hypothetical insect early in the lecture who is crossing the two diameter slice of the black hole is actually descending into a gravity well. This seems analogous to an insect descending into a pitcher plant, whose sides are coated with downward facing hairs, as one website puts it, making escape impossible. The hapless creature never emerges from either the black hole or the pitcher plant. It strikes me that my imagery will make both the physicists and the entomologists wince.
