That's interesting. Especially the part about gravity and gravity waves creating ripples in space time. That's really neat. It's a challenging topic but It made sense to me the way you explained it. When the two black holes approach each other they cause more ripples through space until they combine as one, at which point things calm down again. That reminds me of two water vortexes coming together in a tub or river. I can totally picture that. Nice post!

Exactly :) glad you caught the main idea.
It's interesting that we are usually explaining accretion disks (when stars and black holes eat stuff they create "sucking vortices" of matter) with tub vortices.

Cheers

(note: graviton is still not confirmed)

Good luck with that. I have no idea how we could directly observe a graviton, its interactions being so gravitationally weak.

From 2015 11 sources of gravitational waves are confirmed, and since April 1, 2019, the new observational window is running with a current number of 28 candidates to be confirmed.

Thanks to a very nice alert system, any GW detection is accompanied by probes of cosmic ray, gamma ray or neutrino detection. We are in particular not supposed to detect yet any joint emission for what concerns the merging of two black holes (no sensitivity yet). However, seeing something may be extremely important as it may shake our understanding of what is going on there.

Yeah it would be so hard to see it - especially from the ground-based detectors. But given enough time, there is always a chance that something strange occurs - and Nobel prize goes to a lucky observer(or will be taken away from him). :D

I have heard rumours (which I won't make more explicit on chain :D ) and I am looking forward for the first public results of the O3 GW run!

Oh my, tell me more, tell me more! :)
With all the new boosted instruments its definitely nice time to be in the field of science once again. :)
Industry sucks anyways :P :)

Breathtaking.

I’ve not check in on NASA for a bit to see what they been up to.

I'll be bringing that up soon, maaaybe :) :D :D

pretty sure you made a typo. my eyes read star fuckers.
