it may seem like a pretty basic and lame question but how can we use this information, what do we get out of it?

I don't understand why the stretching are considered only a stretch of the space, but not a stretch of the time. If what is stretched is the space-time, the stretch of the time will compensate the stretch of the space, and then, that makes any measure non-sense. Because if the space is longer, the time is quicker, or isn't ?
Please, teach me. -
I wear my suuuuunglasses inside, so I can so I caaaan. Watch you weave then breathe your gravity waves
-
This is phenomenal! Even though I don't understand whenever you bring up the formulas but your videos fascinate me... 😊😊
-
You cant divide by zero. Just keep that in mind.
-
Is this a distance smaller than the uncertainty in measurement with the usted instruments AND the marginal error by the same instruments???
-
This was my favorite episode you've done yet. Great job, and keep up the good work!

That crane shot at the beginning is pretty cool. How did you do it? Drone?

Why is his shirt not ironed? What are they going to do with these eqipment when the experiment is done?
-
physics professor... measures stuff in inches :\
-
you cant bend space because it is made of nothing. Einstein was an idiot

I dont understand english very well therefore can somebody explain me what this guy want to say?,does he claim that the gravitational waves haven't been detected?
-
Such a waste of time and money.

Sweet glasses bro

It's good to see that science is doing its best to decrease its carbon footprint by using 1 megawatt for multiple-month long periods of operation just so we can detect something 1.4 billion light years away. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty cool, but is that knowledge worth the contribution of greenhouse gasses that compound the problem of alleged climate change?
-
so if we can control the gravitational wave, we can shrink the space to reach a super light speed travelling?

How did they measure the gravity of the black holes combining without the gravity of the Earth, moon, sun, and all the planets not interfering? Also when they find the gravity, couldn't it just be an energy pulse from massive energy being released when the black holes combined?
A head-vaporizing laser with a perfect wavelength detecting sub-proton space-time ripples. Huge thanks to Prof Rana Adhikari and LIGO: http://ligo.org Here's how he felt when he learned about the first ever detection: https://youtu.be/ViMnGgn87dg Thanks to Patreon supporters: Nathan Hansen, Donal Botkin, Tony Fadell, Saeed Alghamdi, Zach Mueller, Ron Neal Support Veritasium on Patreon: http://bit.ly/VePatreon A lot of videos have covered the general overview of the discovery of gravitational waves, what they are, the history of the search, when they were found but I wanted to delve into the absurd science that made the detection possible. When scientists want one megawatt of laser power, it's not just for fun (though I'm sure it's that too), it's because the fluctuations in the number of photons is proportional to their square root, making more powerful beams less noisy (as a fraction of their total). The smoothest mirrors were created not for aesthetic joy but because when you're trying to measure wiggles that are a fraction the width of a proton, a rough mirror surface simply won't do.
