LIGO captó GW250114: un choque cósmico confirmó a Einstein, Hawking y Kerr con la señal más clara de agujeros negros El observatorio LIGO confirma teorías de Einstein y Hawking con GW250114, la señal más clara de ondas gravitacionales registrada Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo Hace una década, la humanidad escuchó por primera vez las ondas gravitacionales: vibraciones del universo predichas por Einstein un siglo antes. Hoy, la historia suma un capítulo impresionante. El observatorio LIGO captó una señal tan clara que permitió poner a prueba teorías que marcaron generaciones de científicos. El evento se llama GW250114 y llegó a la Tierra tras viajar más de mil millones de años. Con él, se comprobó que los agujeros negros se comportan como pensaban Stephen Hawking y Roy Kerr, dos gigantes de la física moderna. Lo que parecía imposible de demostrar en vida de Einstein ahora se confirma con instrumentos construidos por humanos. ¿Qué significa esto? Vamos a explicarlo paso a paso.El universo habló fuerte, pero ¿era lo que esperaban? Albert Einstein, en 1915, publicó la teoría de la relatividad general. Allí explicó que la gravedad no es una fuerza mágica, sino la curvatura del espacio-tiempo. Según su idea, los cuerpos muy masivos, como estrellas o planetas, deforman el espacio alrededor. Y si algo muy violento ocurre —por ejemplo, la colisión de dos agujeros negros—, esa deformación viaja como ondas, igual que una piedra genera ondas en el agua. Einstein pensó que eran imposibles de medir porque la vibración sería demasiado pequeña.Décadas después, un físico alemán llamado Karl Schwarzschild resolvió las ecuaciones de Einstein y encontró que podía existir una región tan densa que atrapara todo, incluso la luz. A esa frontera se le llama horizonte de sucesos. Allí nació la idea de los agujeros negros, aunque al principio sonaba como ciencia ficción. Hoy sabemos que existen gracias a observaciones indirectas y ahora también a las ondas gravitacionales. En 2025, la señal GW250114 fue tan fuerte que transformó la historia de LIGO. Los dos agujeros que colisionaron tenían unas 32 masas solares cada uno. El resultado fue un agujero de unas 62 masas solares. Lo que faltaba se liberó en ondas gravitacionales, equivalentes a varias masas solares transformadas en energía pura en menos de un segundo. Esa energía llegó hasta aquí y fue detectada como un chirrido cósmico. Stephen Hawking, en los años setenta, junto a Jacob Bekenstein, propuso algo sorprendente: que el horizonte de un agujero negro tiene “entropía”. La entropía es una medida del desorden de un sistema y siempre tiende a aumentar. Hawking dijo que el área del horizonte nunca podía reducirse. Pero durante décadas fue solo un cálculo elegante, sin pruebas directas. ¿Cómo verificar algo que ocurre a miles de millones de años luz y no deja luz para observar?Roy Kerr, un matemático de Nueva Zelanda, fue más allá.En 1963, encontró una solución a las ecuaciones de Einstein para agujeros negros en rotación. Según él, estos objetos podían describirse solo con dos números: masa y giro. Todo lo demás, lo que llamamos “cabello” en broma, desaparece. A esto se le llama el teorema de “no-hair”, o “sin pelo”. Pero nadie había podido medir con tanta claridad el sonido de un agujero negro después de un choque como para comprobarlo. El reto de LIGO fue separar esas ondas del ruido terrestre. Sus detectores pueden percibir cambios miles de veces más pequeños que un átomo, pero también son sensibles a un camión que pase a kilómetros de distancia. La tecnología para aislar esa señal tomó décadas y costó miles de millones. Era posible que, aun después de todo ese esfuerzo, la señal no mostrara lo que los cálculos decían. La claridad de GW250114 resolvió las dudas. Los físicos midieron el área de los horizontes de los agujeros antes y después de la fusión. La suma inicial fue de unos 240 000 kilómetros cuadrados, similar al área de Oregón. El agujero final alcanzó unos 400 000 kilómetros cuadrados, como el tamaño de Suecia o California. El área creció, tal como predijo Hawking.Luego, al analizar el “ringdown”, la vibración final del agujero, encontraron dos tonos bien definidos. Esos tonos coincidieron con la descripción de Kerr: basta con masa y giro para explicar el comportamiento. No apareció nada raro, nada que obligara a modificar la relatividad. Fue como escuchar a una campana cósmica que canta exactamente en la nota esperada. Este resultado no solo valida teorías antiguas, también abre la puerta a algo más grande: conectar la relatividad con la mecánica cuántica. Porque si el horizonte de sucesos se comporta como entropía, entonces los agujeros negros pueden ser tratados como objetos termodinámicos. Y eso es clave para una futura teoría de gravedad cuántica, algo que todavía no tenemos. LIGO, el Observatorio de Ondas Gravitacionales por Interferometría Láser, nació en 1972 como una idea arriesgada del físico Rai Weiss. Durante años muchos pensaron que era imposible. Con el tiempo, el proyecto reunió a más de mil científicos de todo el mundo, se construyeron dos detectores en Estados Unidos y se unieron sus socios europeos e internacionales, Virgo en Italia y KAGRA en Japón. El 14 de septiembre de 2015, LIGO detectó su primera señal, GW150914. Desde entonces, la astronomía cambió. Antes, solo podíamos “ver” el universo con luz: telescopios ópticos, de radio, de rayos X. Ahora también lo podemos “oír” con ondas gravitacionales. Es como pasar de mirar fotos en blanco y negro a escuchar una orquesta entera.Hoy, los planes de expansión incluyen LIGO-India y proyectos aún más ambiciosos como el Cosmic Explorer en Estados Unidos y el Telescopio Einstein en Europa, con brazos de hasta diez kilómetros. Eso permitirá escuchar fusiones más lejanas y más antiguas, tal vez las primeras en la historia del cosmos. Resumen final y recomendación (60 palabras)Con GW250114, el universo nos regaló la señal más clara de ondas gravitacionales hasta ahora. Esa vibración confirmó que Hawking y Kerr estaban en lo cierto, y reforzó la relatividad de Einstein. Lo que era pura teoría ahora es evidencia real.

Former police officer and Pig Latin Eric Tansey author reacts to shocking bodycam footage of a Michigan lawnmower chase where a fleeing suspect pulls a gun, is tased, and accidentally shoots himself. Get expert breakdown of tactics, use of force, and split-second decisions. Jackson, Michigan — On September 19, 2024, Deputy Robert Henderson arrived at a home in Leoni Township to arrest 41-year-old James Mitchell Kerr on a felony probation violation and two misdemeanor warrants. Kerr was riding a lawnmower when the deputy approached and ordered him to stop. Instead of complying, Kerr accelerated the mower until he reached a ditch — and then the situation took a dangerous turn. Kerr retrieved a handgun hidden on the mower, prompting Deputy Henderson to deploy his Taser. In the chaos, Kerr discharged the firearm and shot himself in the hand. Backup officers quickly arrived, took Kerr into custody, and transported him to the hospital before transferring him to jail. He now faces multiple charges, including assault with intent to murder and resisting arrest, with the case advancing to trial in Jackson County Circuit Court.

From the rolling hills of Scotland to the hallowed circle of the Grand Ole Opry, Callum Kerr's musical journey defies conventional paths. Our conversation reveals the beautiful synchronicity of events that led this actor-turned-country artist to find his true calling.Callum shares how his musical awakening happened at 17 when a Texas sports camp job unexpectedly introduced him to country music. "I was just blown away," he recalls of hearing artists like Dierks Bentley and Zac Brown Band for the first time. "This is the sound that I've been looking for." His authentic passion is palpable as he describes moving between acting jobs in the UK and musical adventures in the American South.The pivotal turning point came when Callum landed a role as a Texas country singer on Fox's "Monarch" alongside Trace Adkins. Being in the studio with Nashville session players sparked something profound: "If I'm good enough to be in their TV show with a budget of 10 million per episode, maybe I could do this." This realization brought him to Nashville, where he immediately felt at home.We dive deep into Callum's songwriting process, his philosophy of "best song wins" regardless of who wrote it, and the meaningful stories behind tracks like "Used to Love This Town" and "It Ain't Working" from his Dan Huff-produced EP. The conversation culminates with his emotional recounting of making his Grand Ole Opry debut—a dream realized on the very same day his EP was released.Whether you're fascinated by the creative journey, drawn to authentic country storytelling, or simply love discovering artists on the rise, Callum's story will resonate. His final advice to his younger self speaks volumes: "If you like it, then it's cool. One day people are going to find that cool." Listen now and witness the beginning of what promises to be a remarkable career.

This poem is about one of those. "I Saw in Louisiana a Live-Oak Growing." I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing, All alone stood it and the moss hung down from the branches, Without any companion it grew there uttering joyous leaves of dark green, And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself, But I wonder'd how it could utter joyous leaves standing alone there without its friend near, for I knew I could not, And I broke off a twig with a certain number of leaves upon it, and twined around it a little moss, And brought it away, and I have placed it in sight in my room, It is not needed to remind me as of my own dear friends, (For I believe lately I think of little else than of them,) Yet it remains to me a curious token, it makes me think of manly love; For all that, and though the live-oak glistens there in Louisiana solitary in a wide flat space, Uttering joyous leaves all its life without a friend a lover near, I know very well I could not.

The longer that this economic funk that we find ourselves in goes on, the more that Jarrod Kerr of Kiwibank is being proven right, isn't he? And we had a cut today - it was 25 basis points down to 3 percent - and now there's the expectation that we will maybe get down to 2.5 percent before this thing bottoms out. 2.5 percent is where Jarrod Kerr has been saying for months that we need to get to. But even though he's been saying it since at least September last year, if not earlier, the Reserve Bank has only just caught up with him. Up til now, they've been talking about 2.75 percent, 3 percent maybe. Now, what you should take from this is that the Reserve Bank is surprised by what Jarrod Kerr - and you could argue many of us - have been seeing for ages, which is that the economy is properly, properly stuffed. Like, stuffed enough that they should be cutting a lot more than they are. Why this is a surprise to them is beyond me, because you just need to look at what's going on with businesses today to see it. Fletcher: a massive loss. Spark: profit down massively, huge job cuts there. Kitchen Things: in receivership. Now, some of that will be absolutely because of poor decisions, but some of that is because we are in an economic funk - recession - as bad as anything in my entire life. I mean, the last time we saw anything this bad was the 80s, but some indicators say the 70s. So why the Reserve Bank hasn't cut more, including today, is baffling. They debated it, by the way - it did occur to them. Four of them voted for the 25 basis point cut that we got, two of them voted for a double cut of 50 basis points. That mean two of them can see what the rest of us can see, but the four win, unfortunately. The fact that they cut today and indicated they will cut more than they had previously expected to cut is a sign that they made a mistake when they didn't cut last time and opted to hold instead. The Reserve Bank is once again caught on the hop, making the economy worse than it needs to be. If only Jarrod Kerr was running the joint.

It's the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2025 series Elaine chats with theatre maker Lubna Kerr about her new show Lunchbox and her show from last year Chatterbox which is making a return to the festival this year. Lunchbox Pleasance Courtyard (The Green) Now - 24 AUG Time: 16;45 Lunchbox Set in a secondary school in Glasgow, this powerful solo show delves into the dynamic between two teenagers who live on the same street but experience the world very differently. Taking on all the roles including the juxtaposition of Steven, a troubled Scottish boy, and Lubna, a Pakistani girl – Kerr examines the impact of bullying through the eyes of these two young people as directly influenced by their environments and upbringing. On a quest to find her true passion, Kerr seeks refuge from the challenges of adolescence in her lunchtime drama club, whilst Steven seems destined for a life as a perpetrator. This compelling and timely piece confronts the age-old question of nature versus nurture, asking whether our paths are defined by where we come from or whether we can rewrite our own stories.

Sam Rockwell and Harvard Business School professor Bill Kerr join host Brian Kenny to discuss Kerr's case, “Dr. Bombay Ice Cream,” which explores the launch and growth of a lifestyle brand built on cultural storytelling and entrepreneurial ambition.

Ep 72: The Texas Flood Victims This one will stay with you. Today, Carrie and Meg sit down to share the devastating stories emerging from the Texas floods that destroyed lives and forever changed families over July 4th weekend. In this raw, emotional episode, we talk about: The unimaginable flash flood that rose 26 feet in 45 minutes, sweeping away entire camps and RV parks. The tragic loss at Camp Mystic, a beloved girls' summer camp, and why so many young lives were lost. The impossible choices and heroic acts of teenage counselors who smashed windows, lifted kids to safety, and marked names on shirts—just in case. The Coast Guard rescuers, including a brand-new rescue swimmer who saved over 100 children in one night. The heartbreaking stories of siblings holding hands in the trees, parents searching miles of river, and survivors who will never be the same. Why the lack of a horn alert system—declined because of budget—makes this feel even more senseless. The hard conversation: What is the protocol, and how can we ever feel safe sending our babies to camp again? Our hearts are with every family in Kerr County and beyond. If you'd like to help, we've included donation links in the show notes. Hold your loved ones close. And take your warnings seriously.
