Will we be ayy lmaos n shit soon?
What are gravity waves and why is this a significant discovery?
>>52919149
Eventually it will make your games run with more FPS.
>>52919149
They're something to do with einstein's theories of relativity.
If you imagine spacetime as the surface of a pond, a fast moving binary star makes really small ripples in the pond.
The ripples have been detected
>gravity waves
what exactly is "gravity"?
>>52919191
>If you imagine spacetime as the surface of a pond, a fast moving binary star makes really small ripples in the pond.
I understand that.
>The ripples have been detected
Yeah, so why is this big? what does this mean for us?
>>52919212
If you know it exists, it's only a matter of time until you can manipulate it.
Hyper drives in space ships in 3...2....1.....
>>52919212
Scientists have been looking for them hell of a long time. Theoretically, they can be used to peek into galaxies completely obscured by dust. And maybe warp drives, kek.
>>52919102
You mama so fat......
>>52919149
Ripples in space time caused by events involving objects with a significant mass that support theory of relativity or some such mostly significant because it's predicted by current understanding of physics and thus makes those theories all the more "proven"
Or that's what I have seen on other threads about it as you can probably tell Ive no fuckin idea really there are nasa posts about it probably
>>52919256
>Theoretically, they can be used to peek into galaxies completely obscured by dust.
Reminds me of someone gaining root or kernel access by exploiting some obscure turing tar pit exploit, like that one where the guy get's ring -2 access by exploiting a bug in x86.
Scientists must have a hard life.
>>52919208
Gluons.
Who cares
Einstein is a filthy jew, he probably plagiarized everything
>>52919318
The strong nuclear force is not the same as gravity retarded anon
>>52919306
I bet you relate everything to computers all the time.
Not saying that's a bad thing though, it's pretty cool and you seem fun to talk to even though I have no idea what you just said
OP, do you mean GRAVEY waves?

What? Ring 0 is highest privilege
>>52919378
>embarrassing yourself this hard
Oh wow. Are you literally 12 years old? Watch too much Michio Kaku on the Discovery channel?
>>52919102
I don't believe any of it. Einstein's gravity waves have not been found. And I don't care what CNN says about it.

was that detected by that long thing that shoots lasers and measures how long it took for them to arrive?

You are now aware that your OS only has limited access to your computer and that no modern computer can ever be NSA proof.
>>52919498
I advise you to check your privilege.
>>52919963
Yes, watch the video. they detected a wave that matched up with a known black hole collision that occurred a billion years ago.
is it time for a new particle yet?
>>52919318
You're beyond retarded.
>>52919208
I don't know. They say it's the name for the phenomenon that pulls everything down when thrown up. But what it is, I don't know. Nikola Tesla, "the Greatest inventor of all time" (I know), said that gravity is a manifestation of cosmic compression. I don't know the nitty gritty of it, but I think it involves what he called aether.
What are the practical applications for this
>>52919792
No you won't.
>>52920114
Prove to me that time isn't running backwards and the universe isn't in a state of deflation
Protip: (You) can't
>implying they found two merging black holes, something said to be fucking rare

Underrated post.

Tell me how do I turn copper into gold you smartass.
>>52921027
uhh... bombarding it with protons?
>>52921027
With magic and friendship, you idiot
>>52919102
We'll be able to travel around the universe, and shit.
>>52921027
Take a copper atom and a tin atom and fire them at each other at nearly the speed of light.
You now have a gold atom.
>>52921063
walking around is also traveling around the universe
What are these wave positrons?
Do we aliens now?
Please take this shit to /x/ nobody gives a fuck
>>52921087
Niggers will be able to reach space and claim
>WE WAS SPACE TRAVELERS N SHIIEEETT
>>52921087
We are the universe!
>>52921083
so gold is not "impossible to reproduce" as they say..... that means gold as a form of currency is invalid...
Society collapse when?
>>52919102
>>/x/
this thread belongs into >>>/sci/
>>52921210
it's not "impossible to produce" but production is expensive as fuck
so you need to spend a kilogram of gold to make a gram
>>52921210
The amount of gold you would produce from the amount of energy expanded wouldn't make it worthwhile.
>>52921210
yeah too bad the price of trasmutation is way higher than the value of the gold you get after the trasmutation process kek... you could probably build 100 gold mines for the same money trasmutation costs.
Sure can't wait to travel to space and glass the ever loving fuck out of aliens using our very own Casaba-Howitzers
>>52919149
It is a method theorized long ago that just now can be used in practice to observe events. Think of how X rays and radio observatories expanded our comprehension compared to just plain visible light.
Of particular importance is that these waves can be used to observe events otherwise obscured by mass or radiation (neutron stars) and those that are just very difficult to observe otherwise like black holes.
Also, normal radiation in the early universe did not move freely while gravitational waves should not suffer from this problem, which opens a new window to the early universe, maybe even the big bang itself.

But when nuclear fusion becomes more easily available, will it?
So what should I switch my major to in order to be a part of the field that discovers and utilizes the first hyper drive space ship?

Does time exist /g/?
it feels more like a human contrived system to cope with problems like a lifespan and the day/night cycle

>a known black hole collision that occurred a billion years ago.
How the fuck do they figure this shit out?
>>52924599
Sure anon, it was invented last year
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics
>>52924376
Nuclear fusion ITSELF will produce more gold to energy consumed than you would make by colliding atoms in a particle accelerator, and it has the benefit of being a byproduct of producing energy.

It basically proves, at least partially, that String and M Theory are correct.
So, basically, there are at least 6 more dimensions we are unaware of, which means somewhere there is an 8 dimensional being moaning about how pig disguising 8D is and how he'd love to finally meet his 3D husbando

Yeah, maybe if we elect another god damn libtard president.
>>52926864
yeah there are 365 wave coordinates that literally come out of my anus

Not sure what they are, but i know they will let astronomers find objects in far away galaxies without having to resort to light captured by telescopes.

It's basically space, reality itself, shaking.
I really don't get what this has to do with consumer electronics.
Wrong board?
Does this mean gravitons are real or nah?

Unless someone or something is surfing those waves I ain't convinced. This is like Planet X and how it's supposed to be there. I want hard evidence.
>>52928741
You don't need to touch shit when you smell it to know it's somewhere near.
>>52919102
gravity waves are waves in material such as tidal waves
gravitational waves are waves in space-time
gravity waves =! gravitational waves
but we know what you mean
you live in a vast structure the nature of which is not clearly understood, but today some of its features were clarified
>>52926903
They have actually researched the topic unlike you. I'm looking forward to Trump trying to trying to negotiate with China and getting blown to pieces by Chinese gravitational waves.
