maybe triumph is one of those things that your parents think is hilarious when you're a kid and you don't get it and they say you'll get it when you're older but no, you never get it

i understand people are psyched about the gravitational waves thing but why won't they stop saying it's going to change the way we see the world? it's been theorized for a hundred years and we've pretty much based our entire physics knowledge on their existence already. it's not like any new science has been made. we just proved an old theory that we already knew with 99.99% certainty existed. that's cool and all, but not so revolutionary.

i like it when the reporting covers the main players and humanizes the work done without pandering to the reader with pseudoscience catch phrases like this one http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/gravitational-waves-exist-heres-how-scientists-finally-found-them

re gravitational waves: If I was looking at a ruler while a wave washed over me, would i notice that wave was rolling over me? Would i feel it? IF my eyes are constricting or expanding at the same rate as everything else in proximity to me, i would guess not.

lets say we slowed it down. its slow enough for me to notice, if i were to be able to see it.

H.P. Hovercraft posted:here's the PHD comics vid on grav waves oh, this explained it. i was on it also, they explained the ligo and the light measuring thing which i also arm chair explained to a co-worker and go mostly right. i messed up tho by saying that the light gets out of phase when the gravity wave washes over and the lgith dissappears. lol thats too much, it just simply takes longer or short to get through the route. and maybe blue/red shifts a bit?

Kid CUDA posted:i understand people are psyched about the gravitational waves thing There's a lot of things they can start using this to measure which is why it's revolutionary. What the waves look like is really important and you can possibly find quirks in GR which only show themselves in very extreme gravitational systems (we didn't move away from Newtonian physics until we could test things on the extreme speed of light scale). Things like neutron star structure is not well defined (we don't have a great handle on nuclear physics for cold, dense matter because we can't make it) but the way those waves look when you have them collapsing into each other is something you can model and use to constrain that type of nuclear physics. How squishy or crunchy neutron stars are is an active area of research. What are the probabilities of finding systems in these configurations with masses etc are astrophysics modeling problems. One big surprise out of this was finding something just that big of a signal. People thought you may not really see ANYTHING for years because they didn't have the sensitivity and those types of events were supposed to be too rare.
