La mémoire gravitationnelle est un phénomène prédit par la théorie de la relativité générale d'Albert Einstein. Elle se manifeste par une modification permanente de la structure de l'espace-temps à la suite du passage d'ondes gravitationnelles, ces ondulations cosmiques générées par des événements cataclysmiques tels que la fusion de trous noirs ou d'étoiles à neutrons.Comprendre la mémoire gravitationnelleLorsqu'une onde gravitationnelle traverse une région de l'espace-temps, elle provoque des déformations temporaires, étirant et compressant les distances. La mémoire gravitationnelle se réfère à l'effet résiduel laissé après le passage de l'onde : une modification durable des positions relatives des objets, même après que l'onde s'est dissipée. En d'autres termes, si deux particules étaient initialement stationnaires l'une par rapport à l'autre, le passage d'une onde gravitationnelle pourrait les déplacer de manière permanente, laissant une "cicatrice" invisible dans la trame de l'espace-temps.Les preuves expérimentalesBien que la mémoire gravitationnelle n'ait pas encore été observée directement, des indices indirects soutiennent son existence. Par exemple, l'observation des pulsars binaires, comme le système PSR B1913+16, a montré une diminution de leur période orbitale conforme aux prédictions de la perte d'énergie par émission d'ondes gravitationnelles, suggérant que des effets tels que la mémoire gravitationnelle pourraient être à l'œuvre.Perspectives futuresLa détection directe de la mémoire gravitationnelle représente un défi majeur en raison de la subtilité de l'effet. Cependant, avec l'amélioration continue des détecteurs d'ondes gravitationnelles, tels que LIGO et Virgo, et le développement de projets ambitieux comme LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna), un observatoire spatial prévu pour les années 2030, les scientifiques espèrent pouvoir mesurer ces infimes perturbations de l'espace-temps. Une telle observation offrirait une confirmation supplémentaire de la relativité générale et enrichirait notre compréhension des phénomènes cosmiques les plus violents.En conclusion, bien qu'Einstein ait prédit la mémoire gravitationnelle dans le cadre de sa théorie de la relativité générale, sa détection directe reste un objectif à atteindre. Les avancées technologiques et les efforts des physiciens théoriciens et expérimentaux pourraient bientôt révéler ces cicatrices invisibles laissées par les événements les plus violents de l'histoire de l'Univers.

fWotD Episode 2849: Virgo interferometer Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 21 February 2025 is Virgo interferometer.The Virgo interferometer is a large-scale scientific instrument near Pisa, Italy, for detecting gravitational waves. The detector is a Michelson interferometer, which can detect the minuscule length variations in its two 3-km (1.9 mi) arms induced by the passage of gravitational waves. The required precision is achieved using many systems to isolate it from the outside world, including keeping its mirrors and instrumentation in an ultra-high vacuum and suspending them using complex systems of pendula. Between its periodical observations, the detector is upgraded to increase its sensitivity. The observation runs are planned in collaboration with other similar detectors, including the two Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatories (LIGO) in the United States and the Japanese Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA), as cooperation between several detectors is crucial for detecting gravitational waves and pinpointing their origin.It was conceived and built when gravitational waves were only a prediction of general relativity. The project, named after the Virgo galaxy cluster, was first approved in 1992 and construction was completed in 2003. After several years of improvements without detection, it was shut down in 2011 for the "Advanced Virgo" upgrades. In 2015, the first observation of gravitational waves was made by the two LIGO detectors, while Virgo was still being upgraded. It resumed observations in early August 2017, making its first detection on 14 August (together with the LIGO detectors); this was quickly followed by the detection of the GW170817 gravitational wave, the only one also observed with classical methods (optical, gamma-ray, X-ray and radio telescopes) as of 2024.Virgo is hosted by the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO), a consortium founded by the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the Italian Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN). The broader Virgo Collaboration, gathering 940 members in 20 countries, operates the detector, and defines the strategy and policy for its use and upgrades. The LIGO and Virgo collaborations have shared their data since 2007, and with KAGRA since 2019, forming the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:51 UTC on Friday, 21 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Virgo interferometer on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Ruth.

What were the coolest science and sci-fi events in the LIUniverse in 2024, and what's in store for us in 2025? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome three members of our production team: Leslie Mullen, our Executive Producer making her first on air appearance, Jon Barnes, our Editor, and Stacey Severn, our Social Media/Patreon Community Director, both of whom are familiar to longtime fans. But first, as always, we start with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the latest development in the dispute that astrophysicists call the “Hubble Tension.” Over the past 20 years, the two different methods of measuring the Hubble Constant, which is used to calculate the rate of universal expansion, have led to two different conclusions. Leslie points out that the universe isn't confused, we are, leading to a conversation about why accurate measurements matter in helping us expand our limited understanding. Then we begin our look back at the year in astronomy – or rather, our look up. Stacey takes us on a tour, from a Geminid meteor hitting the moon, to the spectacular aurora borealis visible in the Northeastern US, to Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, to, of course, the Great North American Eclipse. The team share their viewing experiences while Chuck explains the impact of solar max on both the eclipse and the auroras. Next, Jon Barnes is back to talk about “The Three-Body Problem” science fiction series on Netflix. He asks Chuck to explain what we really know about cosmic particles (aka cosmic rays), because, in the series, the aliens use sophons, a supercomputer combined with a photon, to communicate across long distances at or near the speed of light. You'll also hear about the recent detection of a surprisingly large number of very high energy cosmic rays that are hitting us right now. Our fan question comes from Pshemo on Patreon and concerns an experiment to measure the dynamics of a local system relative to spacetime by using light as a way of gauging the background nature of the universe. And if you think that sounds pretty geeky, it's nothing compared to the conversation between Allen, Chuck and Leslie that ensues, encompassing Einstein, the Michelson–Morley experiment, gravitational waves, LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA, and LISA. There's plenty more in this episode, including a discussion of the recent wave of drone sightings, their similarity to the past UFO sightings, and the likelihood that they are all explained by less exotic causes than aliens. Moving on to the coolest “identified flying objects” of 2024, Leslie tells us about the Europa Clipper, which launched in October. It will reach orbit around Jupiter in 6 years in order to search for alien life in the subsurface oceans of its icy moon Europa. Chuck reminds us all that NASA's Parker Solar Probe will make its closest approach to our Sun on Christmas Eve 2024. Finally, it's time for the team to share what they're looking forward to in 2025. Jon is psyched for “Mickey 17,” a film by director Bong Joon-ho about a clone on a space colony. Allen is excited for Rocket Lab's Venus Life Finder, the first private interplanetary space probe, which launches in January to search for organic compounds within Venus' atmosphere. Stacey is looking forward to Axiom Space's fourth mission to the ISS in 2025, an international trip to conduct scientific experiments commanded again by Peggy Whitson. Leslie is most excited for the discovery nobody is expecting, whatever that may be. And what is Chuck looking forward to most in 2025? The long-awaited start of scientific operations at the Vera Rubin Observatory, which will take a full picture of the sky every 30 seconds for ten years and deliver an unprecedented level of data for astronomers to feast upon!

Image source: https://physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/?EventID=457 One of the joys of science is delving into the deepest mysteries of the universe. What holds it all together? Part of the answer, of course, is gravity. That's the force that allows us to sit or stand without floating off into space. But it's much more than that, because without gravity, there would be no Earth and no Sun. In this episode we enjoyed a conversation with Distinguished Prof Susan Scott from the ANU. Professor Scott is one of the key people involved with the first confirmed detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO detectors. She is a passionate advocate for science and mathematics and promoting the cause of women in science. Interview by Rod.

What is a gravitational wave?

Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/dvvOi_nUCRMSpace itself is wobbly. We exist on a choppy sea, its surface roiled by disturbances caused by the movements of black holes hundreds of millions of light-years away. The detection of these 'gravitational waves' by observatories such as LIGO is a story of scientific persistence and precision engineering, resulting in a completely new way of looking at the cosmos. The lecture will highlight the latest results from LIGO's observing run, discuss the nature of black holes - the most mysterious of astronomical objects - and explain how the gold in your jewellery was made. This lecture was recorded by Chris Lintott on 4th December 2024 at Conway Hall, LondonChris is Gresham Professor of Astronomy.He is also a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and a Research Fellow at New College.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/black-holes-0Gresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

In Ausgabe 90 geht es um das neue Buch der Astronomin Ruth Grützbauch "Sternenjahr auf Unsichtbar". Sie bespricht mit dem Kabarettisten Martin Puntigam ihr neues Buch, die unsichtbaren Sachen im Universum, wie man faule Astronominnen zum Arbeiten zwingen kann, ob wir zu schasauget sind fürs Universum, was Astronominnen spannend finden, wie Marketing mit Liebe aussieht, was wir vom Universum eigentlich sehen können, wie cool die Realität ist, wie lange ein Sternenjahr dauert, warum in Ruths Buch so schöne Illustrationen sind, wie man Gravitationswellen misst & wo sie herkommen, warum die Gravitation so schwach & so mächtig ist, ob man auch im Fallen fallen kann, wie man mit der Bewegung der Erde einen Kühlschrank betreiben könnte, warum Albert Einstein lieber keine Gravitationswellen gehabt hätte, wie sich Licht verspäten kann, wann es im Universum große Ursache bei kleiner Wirkung gibt, warum Schwarze Löcher die besseren Gravitationswellen machen, wie man zufällig Gravitationswellen misst, ob man seinen Körper von 2 Schwarzen Löchern stauchen lassen sollte, wann das Universum Wupp! sagt, was ein Röntgen-Tsunami ist, warum man sich von der Atmosphäre nicht den Tag verderben lassen sollte, ob die Milchstraße in einem Galaxienhaufen Leben hervorbringen könnte, wer instabiler ist, Kelvin oder Helmholtz, wann ein Kaffee als Mahlzeit gilt, wie man einen Galaxienhaufen Latte zubereitet ob man mit einem Röntgen-Tsunami eher in Dur oder in Moll musiziert

9 year old listener Koby sends Hannah and Dara on a mission to find the shiniest thing in the world. And so they enter a world of mirrors… The journey takes them into the subatomic goings on of shiny metal surfaces, where electrons waggle and dance and send light waves back at *just* the right angle. Our curious duo play with an astonishingly reflective plastic film that can be found hidden in devices we all use. And they probe the mysterious power of refraction, harnessed to make the $2 million mirrors which reflect the lasers at the huge LIGO experiment. And everyone ponders the surprisingly reflective properties of a pint in space.

Mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit durchqueren sie das Universum und stauchen und strecken dabei Raum und Zeit: Gravitationswellen. Mehr als hundert Jahre lang haben Physikerinnen und Physiker über ihre Existenz spekuliert, bis es im Jahr 2015 erstmals gelang, Gravitationswellen nachzuweisen. Welche Signale seitdem gemessen wurden, was sie uns über das Universum verraten und wie Gravitationswellen in Zukunft noch genauer untersucht werden könnten, berichtet Frank Ohme vom Max-Planck-Institut für Gravitationsphysik in Hannover in dieser Folge.

NASA's Michelle Thaller explains what happens when the densest stars in the galaxy collide. ❍ Up next: Solving Stephen Hawking's famous paradox    • Solving Stephen Hawking's famous para...   NASA astronomer Michelle Thaller talks about a heavy subject matter: neutron stars. These dead stars are so dense that just one teaspoonful of neutron star matter would equal the mass of Mount Everest. Two neutron stars in orbit around each other will eventually collide, and when they do, they create ripples in the fabric of spacetime. Thanks to LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, scientists can detect these gravitational ripples by detecting disturbances in laser light. Albert Einstein correctly predicted the existence of gravitational waves in his theory of general relativity, 100 years before astrophysicists first detected them.

El tema de este programa de 'Obsesión por el Cielo: Punto Focal' es el estudio de las ondas gravitacionales y lo que podemos aprender del cosmos al detectarlas. Comenzamos, evidentemente, tratando de definir lo que son estas ondas gravitacionales utilizando conceptos básicos de física. En el proceso las diferenciamos de las ondas de gravedad, un concepto ya existente del campo de la dinámica de fluidos, y platicamos un poco de la historia de este fenómeno. La idea de que los objetos de gran masa moviendose a velocidades relativísticas producen perturbaciones en el espacio-tiempo que viajan por el espacio a la velocidad de la luz ha existido por un poco más de cien años y se realizaron observaciones que pueden ser explicadas por este fenómeno, pero no fue hasta hace unos pocos años que estas ondas gravitacionales fueron detectadas directamente. En la segunda parte del programa explicamos la forma en que estas ondas gravitacionales pueden ser detectadas por instrumentos extremadamente precisos y difíciles de operar y calibrar. Entre estos "telescopios" de ondas gravitacionales podemos contar con el par del proyecto LIGO, otro llamado Virgo en Italia, y otro llamado KARGA en Japón, entre los más destacados. También hablamos de las primeras detecciones de estas ondas de gravedad, producidas por la fusión de hoyos negros de masa estelar. En la tercera parte del programa hablamos en general de los fenómenos energéticos y catastróficos del Universo que liberan suficiente energía como para sacudir la esencia misma del espacio-tiempo y que podremos estudiar detectando estas vibraciones del espacio, ya sea con los diseños mejorados de equipos existentes o con interferómetros espaciales.  

Staying alive… Dear Cheap Astronomy – Just how useful are humans in space? Just by landing robots on Mars, we've been able to take lots of photos, smell the air, feel the ground and listen to the wind blow. We've got bogged in difficult terrain, but also climbed hills to take in the view and even operated a drone. Sending people there is a lot more fraught…   Dear Cheap Astronomy – What is the death zone radius of a black hole merger? The background to this question is the gravitational wave data we've been detecting with LIGO – the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory. The data received can be reverse- engineered to quantify the astronomical event that caused the gravitational waves detected.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Remastered from our interview in May 2023 A few months ago, I had the pleasure of interviewing the Nobel Laureate, Barry Barish, for UCTV. Barry is an experimental physicist and a professor at UC Riverside. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics along with Rainer Weiss and Kip Thorne for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves.  In our interview, Barry reflects on his life in science, being curious, experiencing imposter syndrome, and working in the field of physics. Tune in!  Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) How to get over impostor syndrome (00:40) Exploring curiosity (06:34) The art of science (11:08) The probability of a quantum theory of gravity (21:36) Would Barry visit a black hole? (26:12) Barry's origin story (30:53) Could we make an AI physicist? (42:19) Outro (46:12) — Additional resources: 

How do supermassive black holes form? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice come to you live to learn about the history of black holes, what's inside them, and new discoveries with cosmologist Janna Levin and astrophysicist Jenny Greene. NOTE: StarTalk+ Patrons can listen to this entire episode commercial-free.Thanks to our Patrons Leigh Momii, Molly Jebsen, Gilbert Cruz, Robert Colonel, Oliver Orofino, and Stephen Coleman for supporting us this week.Photo Credit: ESO/WFI (Optical); MPIfR/ESO/APEX/A.Weiss et al.
