When Two black holes collide

Interesting when people say Einstein was smarter than what we thought he was.


Two enormous black holes collide 1.5 billion light years away and produce a pulse of energy in one tenth of a second 30 times the power of our sun.

The detection of the wave resulting from this explosion made international news when it broke in Washington overnight. This pulls together the final piece in the puzzle of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, the LIGO observatory in the US and a group of Australian scientists who helped make it happen.

We always say there's an Adelaide connection and this morning Matthew Abraham talked to University of Adelaide's Physics Head, Prof Peter Veitch who described the very big bang and the role he and his Australian colleagues played in discovering the ripples in the curvature of space time.

Mind blown? Ours too. You might want to listen back more than once.

So according to what I understand it wasn't seen but detected

So, you want us to dance for the answer, then?

New York Times said that it was 50 times the power of all the stars in the Universe. I'll find a link.


EDIT: www.nytimes.com...

Conveyed by these gravitational waves, power 50 times greater than the output of all the stars in the universe combined vibrated a pair of L-shaped antennas in Washington State and Louisiana known as LIGO on Sept. 14

Seeing the headline I dropped in expecting a Bernie and Hillary discussion, my bad

I want individual(s) to not be lazy...I If there is a an explanation to how this differs, then by all means make me to be the bad guy and post away.

1 blackhole + 1 blackhole = 1 giant A--hole
