Dans l'Univers, certains événements dépassent tout ce que l'on peut imaginer. Collisions de trous noirs, fusions d'étoiles à neutrons, explosions titanesques… ces cataclysmes libèrent une énergie telle qu'ils ne se contentent pas d'émettre de la lumière ou des particules. Ils agissent directement sur la structure même de l'Univers, en provoquant des ondulations dans l'espace-temps que l'on appelle ondes gravitationnelles. Ces phénomènes, prédits par Einstein, nous offrent aujourd'hui une nouvelle manière d'observer le cosmos.Mais que signifie réellement “déformer l'espace-temps” ? Est-ce une simple image ou une réalité physique mesurable ? Dans cette vidéo, on explore comment la masse et l'énergie peuvent courber, étirer et même faire vibrer l'espace et le temps eux-mêmes. Des exemples concrets aux expériences de détection comme LIGO, on comprend peu à peu comment ces déformations se produisent, et surtout dans quelles conditions extrêmes elles deviennent observables.Derrière ces phénomènes se cache une question encore plus profonde : les dimensions de l'espace-temps sont-elles réellement fixes, ou peuvent-elles évoluer, se déformer, voire interagir différemment selon les événements cosmiques ? Entre relativité générale, physique des hautes énergies et hypothèses sur les dimensions supplémentaires, cette vidéo propose une exploration accessible mais rigoureuse d'un Univers bien plus dynamique et mystérieux qu'il n'y paraît.➡️ TELECHARGER SIRIUS : onelink.to/sirius

Quantum light — and in particular squeezed states — has become a key resource for improving detector sensitivity and overcoming quantum noise. This presentation highlights how squeezing and frequency-dependent squeezing are implemented in gravitational wave detectors such as LIGO and Virgo to enhance gravitational wave detection over a broad frequency range, and illustrates how quantum technologies developed for sensing play an essential role in fundamental research.

Señal de LIGO sugiere agujeros negros primordiales y cambia debate sobre materia oscuraPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoUn hallazgo en ondas gravitacionales podría revelar que la materia oscura está hecha de pequeños agujeros negros.Vamos a hablar de un sonido del universo que no debería existir. Un detector llamado LIGO captó una señal muy extraña: la colisión de un agujero negro más pequeño que nuestro Sol. Eso rompe lo que sabemos. Porque los agujeros negros normales nacen cuando mueren estrellas gigantes, y siempre son más pesados que el Sol.Entonces, aparece una pregunta incómoda: ¿de dónde salió ese objeto? La respuesta podría llevarnos hasta el primer segundo del universo. Algunos científicos creen que ese agujero negro no nació de una estrella, sino directamente del caos del Big Bang. Y si eso es cierto, no estamos ante un simple descubrimiento. Estamos ante una pista que podría explicar qué es la materia oscura, ese “pegamento invisible” que mantiene unidas las galaxias. ¿Y si la mayor parte del universo está hecha de miles de millones de estos pequeños agujeros negros?Vamos a ordenar esta historia desde el principio. Cuando hablamos de agujeros negros, casi siempre pensamos en objetos enormes, formados cuando una estrella muy grande se queda sin energía y colapsa. Esos agujeros negros tienen varias veces la masa del Sol. Esa es la regla conocida.             Pero el detector LIGO registró algo distinto: una onda gravitacional, es decir, una vibración del espacio-tiempo, causada por una colisión. Hasta ahí, normal. El detalle raro está en el tamaño de uno de los objetos. Era más ligero que el Sol. Y eso no encaja con ningún modelo conocido de formación estelar.Entonces entra en juego una idea antigua. En los años setenta, el físico Stephen Hawking propuso que podrían existir agujeros negros formados justo después del Big Bang. No necesitarían estrellas. Nacerían directamente de regiones extremadamente densas del universo primitivo. Estos son los llamados agujeros negros primordiales. Y encajan justo en ese rango de masas pequeñas que LIGO parece haber detectado.Aquí es donde la historia se vuelve más interesante. Porque no estamos hablando solo de un tipo raro de agujero negro. Estamos hablando de la materia oscura, uno de los mayores misterios de la ciencia.La materia oscura representa cerca del 85 % de toda la materia del universo. No emite luz. No se puede ver. Pero sabemos que está ahí porque su gravedad afecta el movimiento de las galaxias. Sin ella, muchas galaxias simplemente se desarmarían.Durante décadas, los científicos han buscado una partícula nueva para explicarla. Se han propuesto ideas como los WIMPs o los axiones. Pero no hay evidencia directa de ninguno.Entonces aparece esta alternativa: ¿y si la materia oscura no es una partícula? ¿Y si son objetos? Miles de millones de pequeños agujeros negros invisibles flotando por el universo.El problema es que nunca se han detectado directamente. Durante más de cincuenta años han sido una hipótesis. Por eso esta señal de LIGO genera tanto ruido en la comunidad científica.Pero hay cautela. Una sola detección no es suficiente. Puede ser un error, una interferencia o algo que todavía no entendemos bien. La ciencia necesita repetir el experimento, encontrar más señales parecidas y confirmar que no es casualidad.                                                Lo interesante es que los científicos ya están buscando más pistas. Y no se están quedando en una sola señal. Han hecho cálculos para estimar cuántos agujeros negros primordiales deberían existir y con qué frecuencia deberían detectarse.El resultado es curioso: encaja con lo que LIGO ha visto hasta ahora. Es decir, estos eventos serían raros. Y eso coincide con los pocos casos detectados.Además, la tecnología va a mejorar. LIGO seguirá aumentando su sensibilidad. Y en el futuro llegará Agencia Espacial Europea con la misión LISA, que será un detector de ondas gravitacionales en el espacio. Eso permitirá escuchar señales diferentes, en otras frecuencias, y ampliar la búsqueda.Si se confirman estos agujeros negros primordiales, el impacto será enorme. La cosmología tendrá que reorganizar sus modelos. Las simulaciones de galaxias cambiarán. Y la búsqueda de partículas de materia oscura podría perder prioridad.Incluso cambiaría nuestra idea del origen del universo. Algunos modelos sugieren que estos agujeros negros podrían venir de una fase anterior al Big Bang, en un universo que colapsó y luego rebotó. Es una idea radical, pero está sobre la mesa.La conclusión es sencilla: este pequeño agujero negro podría ser una pieza clave de un rompecabezas gigante.                                    Hay más piezas en este rompecabezas. Por ejemplo, el telescopio James Webb Space Telescope ha detectado objetos muy extraños en el universo temprano, conocidos como “puntos rojos pequeños”. Son estructuras muy masivas que aparecieron apenas unos cientos de millones de años después del Big Bang.El problema es que no deberían existir tan pronto. No hay tiempo suficiente para que crezcan tanto según los modelos actuales.Una posible explicación es que ya existían semillas desde el inicio. Es decir, agujeros negros primordiales que empezaron con ventaja. Eso ayudaría a entender cómo se formaron los agujeros negros supermasivos tan rápido.También hay teorías aún más atrevidas. Algunos científicos proponen que la materia oscura podría estar formada por agujeros negros que vienen de un universo anterior. En este modelo, el Big Bang no sería el inicio absoluto, sino una transición.Y hay otra línea de investigación: algunos creen que agujeros negros diminutos, al evaporarse en los primeros instantes del universo, pudieron generar condiciones para que la materia dominara sobre la antimateria. Eso explicaría por qué hoy existe todo lo que vemos.Cada una de estas ideas intenta resolver el mismo misterio desde ángulos distintos. Y todas apuntan a lo mismo: los agujeros negros pequeños, casi invisibles, podrían ser mucho más importantes de lo que pensábamos.                        Una señal detectada por LIGO podría indicar la existencia de agujeros negros primordiales. Si se confirma, cambiará nuestra idea de la materia oscura y del origen del universo. Vale la pena seguir este tema y cuestionar lo que creemos saber del cosmos.

Si chiama Einstein Telescope e cambierà il modo in cui esploriamo il cosmo. Marica Branchesi e Michele Punturo raccontano come e perché l'Europa sta costruendo un orecchio puntato sull'universo.Marica Branchesi è Professoressa ordinaria di Astrofisica presso il Gran Sasso Science Institute e membro corrispondente dell'Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. È membro del Consiglio di Amministrazione dell'Agenzia Spaziale Italiana e ricercatrice associata dell'Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare e dell'Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica.È coordinatrice dell'Observational Science Board dell'Einstein Telescope, che sviluppa il programma scientifico del futuro osservatorio di onde gravitazionali di nuova generazione. Ha contribuito alla prima osservazione delle onde gravitazionali nel 2015 e ha avuto un ruolo di primo piano nella nascita dell'astronomia multimessaggera, che combina onde gravitazionali, radiazione elettromagnetica e particelle.Per questo motivo è stata inclusa dalla Nature nella lista annuale delle dieci persone che hanno avuto il maggiore impatto sulla scienza nel 2017 e dalla Time nella lista annuale delle 100 persone più influenti al mondo nel 2018. Nel 2025 è tra i sei vincitori del prestigioso premio europeo di ricerca Into Change European Research Award per la scoperta di come si formano gli elementi pesanti nell'Universo.Einstein Telescopehttps://www.einstein-telescope.it/einstein-telescope/È uno dei principali progetti di ricerca europei con impatto scientifico di livello mondiale, e l'Italia è candidata a ospitarlo in Sardegna nell'area della miniera dismessa di Sos Enattos, nel Nuorese. Si tratta della grande infrastruttura sotterranea per il futuro rivelatore di onde gravitazionali di terza generazione. ET sarà in grado di osservare un volume di universo almeno mille volte maggiore rispetto agli attuali strumenti di seconda generazione, gli interferometri LIGO negli Stati Uniti e Virgo in Italia, le cui collaborazioni scientifiche hanno osservato per la prima volta, nel 2015, le onde gravitazionali, previste cento anni prima da Albert Einstein. La scoperta è stata premiata con il Nobel per la fisica nel 2017.Einstein Telescope si chiama così perché è uno strumento che servirà a “osservare” le onde gravitazionali che arrivano sulla Terra dallo spazio profondo. È dedicato ad Albert Einstein, che per primo ne ipotizzò l'esistenza, come conseguenza della sua teoria della relatività generale. In realtà, ET, più che in osservazione, sarà in ascolto dell'universo, perché le onde gravitazionali è come se fossero la voce, l'eco dei più estremi eventi astrofisici che accadono nel cosmo, come la coalescenza di buchi neri o di stelle di neutroni, o le esplosioni di supernovae.Il progetto ET prevede la costruzione di una grande infrastruttura sotterranea che ospiterà un rivelatore di onde gravitazionali tra i 100 e i 300 metri di profondità per preservarlo in condizioni di “silenzio”, isolandolo dalle vibrazioni prodotte sia dalle onde sismiche, sia dalle attività umane, che costituiscono quello che viene chiamato “rumore”, in quanto fonte di disturbo per le misure che ET dovrà realizzare.L'idea di progetto di ET si fonda sui successi da Nobel di Virgo e LIGO che, grazie alle osservazioni realizzate dal 2015, anno della scoperta delle onde gravitazionali, ad oggi, hanno rivoluzionato il nostro modo di studiare l'universo, aprendo l'era dell'astronomia gravitazionale – lo studio dei corpi celesti e del cosmo attraverso le onde gravitazionali – e dell'astronomia multimessaggera – lo studio dello stesso fenomeno astrofisico attraverso le informazioni provenienti da più messaggeri cosmici: onde gravitazionali, radiazione elettromagnetica, neutrini. Le scoperte sulle onde gravitazionali, di cui l'Italia è stata protagonista grazie all'esperimento Virgo, che si trova allo European Gravitational Observatory (EGO) vicino a Pisa, hanno reso questo settore della ricerca fondamentale uno dei più promettenti.Rispetto agli attuali interferometri, ET osserverà un volume di universo circa mille volte maggiore e, per le prospettive che potrà aprire in termini sia di nuove conoscenze scientifiche, sia di innovazione tecnologica, è ritenuto un progetto di punta a livello internazionale, tanto da essere incluso nella Roadmap di ESFRI 2021 (European Strategy Forum on Research Insfrastructures), l'organismo europeo che indica su quali infrastrutture scientifiche è decisivo investire in Europa, grazie ad una proposta a guida italiana, supportata da Belgio, Paesi Bassi, Polonia e Spagna.Einstein Telescope è un progetto di ricerca fondamentale e dunque la sua missione primaria e prioritaria è di carattere scientifico: il suo obiettivo è la conoscenza, è studiare l'universo con le onde gravitazionali, attraverso la sua storia, ripercorrendola indietro nel tempo fino all'epoca in cui è comparsa la luce, per capirne l'origine, come si è formato ed evoluto e quale sarà il suo futuro.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

How do stars die? And what happens when they do? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Dr. Ashley Villar, who teaches astronomy at Harvard and whose team studies supernovas as they happen. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, the release of a set of new Hubble Space Telescope images of the Crab Nebula and the pulsar at its center. Needless to say, it's a great start to an episode about a team of scientists who actually study the moment a star explodes and the immediate aftermath. Ashley explains how they have been able to use LIGO, the gravitational wave detector, as a sort of early warning detector that twice gave them enough time to set up their instruments to observe the explosion over the next few hours and days as it unfolds. Professor Villar talks about how neutron star mergers and magnetars may be the source of heavy elements like gold and uranium. Or, as Chuck says, “A gold-filled smoke ring puffing off of a highly spinning, highly magnetic neutron star - what a great picture that would be.” Ashley is looking forward to how the Vera Rubin Observatory is going to change the observation of these events. In the process of explaining, Professor Villar answers an audience question from Jamison, who asks how often stars explode in space. It turns out, in our observable universe, there's a supernova every 2 seconds! We currently detect about 10,000 of these explosions every year - Vera Rubin will be able to detect 10,000 of these explosions in just two weeks. In order to get a handle on this flood of data, Dr. Villar and her team will be looking for these exotic physics needles in a haystack using machine learning models to look for patterns and abnormalities and “go fishing.” Charles asks Ashley for her take on AI and whether we should be afraid of it or not.(And yes, take the opportunity to plug co-host Allen Liu's forthcoming book, “The Handy Artificial Intelligence Answer Book.”) Allen and Ashley discuss the difference between how a chatbot like ChatGPT operates and how she trains her models. There was a second part to Jamison's question about exploding stars: Are we in any danger. Dr. Villar explains that when we just look at our Milky Way, supernovas occur only once a century, so we're not in any danger. Next, Jessie asks, “How do we know the universe is infinite?” Our answer is, we don't. That doesn't stop us from discussing it, though, and the conversation takes us to, among other places, the Nazca lines in Peru and the quantum effect that creates iridescent blue butterfly wings. (You can read the scientific research mentioned in the episode here: https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms8959) We end with a discussion about supernovas, neutrinos, space dust, gamma ray bursts, and what kind of event it would take to interrupt the normal activities of space telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope or the Vera Rubin and hijack them for a disruptive observation. And we get a book recommendation from Ashley, “Katabasis” by R. F. Kuang, about a grad student who journeys to hell to get a letter of reference from her deceased advisor.

Gravitational Wave observatory LIGO has seen a signature that looks like the merger of primordial (pre-stellar, big bang (not big band!) era) black holes. If confirmed with future observations, this would tell us a lot about the early universe and potentially shed light on dark matter. Finally! Plus, closer to home, the BLOBs in the Earth's mantle help us untangle the complicated past of our magnetic field.

How can a helicopter fly in space? How does LIGO detect gravitational waves? How do quantum electronic devices like Josephson junctions work? Could AI turn evil and destroy humanity? What about those grabby aliens? In this episode of Chuck GPT, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu answer audience questions about the technology of astronomy, astrophysics, and the future. To read those questions, we welcome back our executive producer Leslie Mullen, community director Stacey Severn, and intern Eleanor Adams. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the ESA's new Deep Space Antenna in Australia. This fourth antenna in ESA's network will be used to manage communications for their slate of upcoming missions. For our first audience question, Anna asks, “How is it possible that a helicopter can work in space? I heard that NASA launched a helicopter to Mars and is going to send one to Saturn in a few years.” Leslie, who worked at JPL, talks about the Perseverance Rover and its helicopter, Ingenuity. She explains that they're not actually flying in space, but in the atmospheres of a planet or a moon. Even so, the thin atmosphere of Mars (less than 1% of Earth's) created unique problems that don't exist on Earth. Leslie got to interview the inventor of Ingenuity, Bob Balaram, in her JPL podcast episode, “Flying with Ingenuity.” She describes how JPL tested the helicopter here on Earth, and what it was like the moment Ingenuity actually took flight. The team discusses Dragonfly, the helicopter that will be flying on Saturn's moon Titan, and how Titan's thick methane atmosphere creates an entirely different set of engineering problems than Ingenuity faced on Mars. Stacey reads our next question, from Joe: “Gravitational wave detectors like LIGO are said to detect changes in the length of space by less than the width of a proton. But how is that possible, if all the atoms that make up LIGO are so much bigger than protons?” Chuck explains interferometry (the I in LIGO!) and Allen offers a great analogy using a ruler. Eleanor reads a question from TikTok, which Esmeregildo asked in response to our video about Josephson Junctions and the Nobel Prize in Physics: “What is the purpose of the insulating barrier?” Chuck's answer takes us down a quantum tunneling rabbit hole, filled with superconductors, insulators, and quantum computing. Diane asks: “Professor, you say that astronomers have used AI for a long time so you're not afraid of AI. But AI isn't being used by just scientists anymore, and corporations are using AI to make money now rather than to make scientific advances. So should we be afraid of AI today? Could AI turn evil soon and destroy humanity?” Allen, co-author of a soon-to-be published book about AI, offers a mostly hopeful answer, although Chuck compares AI to nuclear power and Leslie brings up real world problems AI is already creating. Our last question from our audience is, “Hi Dr. Liu, I heard you talking about grabby aliens recently. Could you explain the concept a little more? For example, would humans be grabby aliens if we explore space and colonize Mars and we find there's life there? Would we have to destroy grabby aliens right away if we find them, or would we have to hide from them?” It's the perfect way to end this edition of Chuck GPT!

In this episode of SpaceTime, we dive into groundbreaking astronomical discoveries that challenge our understanding of the universe.The Most Massive Stellar Black Hole Merger Ever ObservedAstronomers have detected the most massive stellar black hole merger to date, cataloged as GW23 1123, which resulted in a black hole with a staggering mass of 225 times that of our Sun. This episode discusses the implications of this merger, observed by the LIGO Virgo Collaboration, and how it pushes the boundaries of current theories on black hole formation. The rapid spinning of the resulting black hole raises intriguing questions about the processes that lead to such massive objects in the cosmos.Unraveling the Mystery of Dark MatterCan radio telescopes and NASA's IMAP mission provide answers to the enigma of dark matter? New research suggests that during the cosmic dark ages, dark matter clumped together, pulling in hydrogen gas that emitted powerful radio waves. This segment explores how these signals could potentially illuminate the properties of dark matter, which remains one of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics.Navigating the Heliosphere with IMAPNASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is on a mission to study the heliosphere, the protective bubble created by the solar wind.

How do very small galaxies form? What's going on inside them? And what happens when black holes collide? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome astrophysicist and “Galaxy Detective” Dr. Charlotte Olsen from New York City College of Technology – and you can call her Chuck, too! As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, the latest announcement from LIGO about the detection of a gravitational wave event in 2023 from the loudest collision we've heard so far. In this case, the wave was caused by the collision of two black holes that created one new black hole about 60x the mass of our Sun and released an entire sun's worth of energy. Charlotte explains why there are many black hole collisions going on, and how LIGO detections are now being combined with data from other gravitational wave detectors to give us more precise measurements. You'll also hear about Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) and their negative impact on Charlotte's research. Charlotte talks about what she looks for in her research, and why it all comes down to “wanting to see more photons” to better validate her modeling. Our first question from the audience comes from Joe, who asks, “What does it mean for the Milky Way to have a bar? Why does it have a bar? And how can such a long bar form?” It turns out that many spiral galaxies like ours have bars, and Charlotte explains a little about bar structure. She brings up the current debate about the stability of these bars, and points out that they actually come in slightly different configurations and that star formation at the ends of the bar has an impact, too. Unlike previous thinking, these bars can develop earlier in galactic evolution and can last a very long time. In other words, as Charlotte puts it, “The bar is always open.” Next, Chuck asks what got Charlotte into astronomy. She describes the inspiration she drew from both the dark skies of Northern California, where she grew up, and from the science fiction she read. She shares a few of her “million and one jobs” she did, including her stint as a bassist in a band. That tees up our next audience question, from Shivani, who asks, “How do you mix music and science? I can't decide if I want to be a scientist or a musician someday – can I be both?” Yes, Charlotte says, and explains why doing both might actually be better. She talks about the value of music, and passion, and hobbies that are more than just hobbies, as well as some of the live music she's been seeing in Brooklyn, Long Island and Queens. Finally, Chuck asks Charlotte about the current passion project she's working on. She tells us how she's looking at a handful of galaxies in multiple wavelengths and comparing them to each other to figure out “what's going on under the hood.” If you'd like to know more about Charlotte, you can connect with her on Bluesky at @charlotteeureka.bsky.social or on her GitHub page charlotteolsen.github.io.

Design is a problem solving discipline. We research user needs, explore solutions, make things, and ship them. But one important stakeholder is often missing from the conversation: the world we live in. What toll do the products we design impose upon the environment? Sustainability is an essential part of the discipline of design, but not understood by designers. If only we had a manual to get us up to speed. This is a preview of a paid episode. Access the full episode on our Substack: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/jeremy-faludi Our guest today, Jeremy Faludi, has spent a lot of time researching, writing, and thinking about environmental impact and design. He's a researcher and author of Sustainable Design: From Vision to Action. Jeremy has spent decades helping companies move beyond good intentions to evidence-based decisions—from working with Stanley Black & Decker to pioneering biomaterial 3D printing at Delft University of Technology. How much power do you think large language models use? The answer is surprising. We explore why a hairdryer company wasted nine months of engineering time on plastic reductions, how systems thinking reveals the true environmental impact of our designs, and the materials research going into sustainable 3D printing. Bio Jeremy Faludi is an assistant professor of Design for Sustainability at TU Delft's Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, where he focuses on sustainable design methods and additive manufacturing. He created the Whole System Mapping method and in 2004 designed the Biomimicry Institute's first online database, now known as AskNature.org. His work spans from practical design—including a bicycle featured in the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum's 2007 “Design for the Other 90%” exhibit—to developing tools for life cycle assessment, product reparability, and health hazard assessment. In green 3D printing, he's a leading voice, having written the OECD's policy recommendations and the Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association's first white paper, along with publishing the industry's most comprehensive life cycle assessments. Originally trained as a physicist (he helped improve LIGO's vibration damping system to pay for design school), Jeremy worked as a sustainable designer in industry for fifteen years before returning to academia. He's taught at Stanford, Dartmouth, and Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and has contributed to six books on sustainable design, including Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century. He's also created multiple online courses for organizations like VentureWell, the Cradle to Cradle Product Innovation Institute, and Autodesk. In 2012, he created StreetNatureScore.com, which used 11 billion satellite imagery datapoints to provide nature scores for any US address. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This is a premium episode on Design Better.

What the if gravitational waves were big enough to see and feel? Instead of measuring distortions smaller than a proton, imagine watching your coffee table accordion in and out as ripples from distant black hole collisions pass through your local cafe. Every time Charlie the cat bats a toy mouse in Greenwich Village, sugar cubes scrunch in Williamsburg cafes. Brain surgeons would need to ask all of New York to sit perfectly still during operations to avoid gravitational interference.

Gravitational waves show two black holes merge just how Hawking predicted. Plus, a space mission without a target. And a Space probe without a confirmed budget.In January 2025 the LIGO gravitational wave observatories witnessed two distant black holes spinning into each other. In the ten years of LIGO's operations, that's not a first. But the instruments have been improved to such an extent that this time some very important predictions of General Relativity and out understanding of black holes could be tested. As Birmingham University's Alberto Vecchio says, the elegant simplicity of the mathematics of black holes has passed a test, in particular Stephen Hawking's prediction that the surface area of merging black holes can only be increased.Space craft have met comets before. But because spaceflight takes so long to plan and fund, we've only sent them to comets with human-lifetime orbital periods so far, because we know when they're arriving. ESA wants to meet one we've never seen before, one that has never or seldom been in close to the sun, and never been barbecued and seared by the radiation. Colin Snodgrass of the University of Edinburgh explains the plan to launch and park a comet chaser in space to wait for one of these elusive extraterrestrial objects to come in from the cold.That, says Meg Schwamb of Queen's University Belfast, is going to be much easier in the next few years as the Vera Rubin Telescope begins its ten year survey cataloguing anything in the sky that changes. The type of sky survey it will provide will identify, it is hoped, many candidate first-time comets for the small fleet of spacecraft to intercept.Having a spacecraft ready in position rather than having to launch a new one anytime you want to do some science is a good place to be, one would think.NASA's Juno mission has been delivering science from Jupiter since its launch, and is still functioning and able to deliver more. Yet NASA funds are under considerable threat, and as Scott Bolton tells Roland, at the end of this month Juno could be left slowly spiralling into the gas giant, silently collecting data but with no budget to keep the science going.Presenter: Roland Pease Producer: Alex Mansfield Production Coordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth

10 years ago we first saw gravitational waves — what we've seen sinceIn September 2015, LIGO—or Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory—captured the ripples in spacetime produced by the cataclysmic merger of two black holes, from over a billion light years away. This discovery confirmed Einstein's hypothesis about gravitational waves and gave astronomers a new way to explore the cosmos. In the decade since, LIGO's scientific team, including physicist Nergis Mavalvala, has been busy, including new results announced this week confirming a 50-year-old prediction by Stephen Hawking about how black holes merge. Mavalvala is the dean of the school of science and the Curtis and Kathleen Marble Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The latest discovery was reported in the journal Physical Review Letters.What wild killer whales sharing food with humans says about their intelligenceAfter an experience of being offered a recently killed seabird by an Orca, cetologist Jared Towers decided to document other instances of killer whales approaching humans to share a snack. Towers, the executive director of the marine research nonprofit Bay Cetology, found dozens of examples of this behaviour. It's a perhaps unique example of a wild creature sharing food with humans for its own diversion and curiosity. The research was published in the Journal of Comparative Psychology.Sweat science — This research really was 90% perspirationWhile the biology of perspiration is relatively well understood, the physical process by which water excreted from our skin cools us is not. This motivated engineer Konrad Rykaczewski to strap himself into a specialized full-body, tube-filled suit to observe how water emerges from sweat glands over the skin. Rykaczewski, a thermal and materials engineer at Arizona State University, found that sweat rises out of sweat glands in pools, eventually spilling out and soaking the top layer of the skin. The research was published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.What came first, the tomato or the potato?As it turns out, the potato came from the tomato. By tracking their genetic lineage, an international team of researchers, including University of British Columbia botanist Loren Rieseberg, have found that the noble potato actually resulted from the tomato naturally cross-breeding with another unrelated species, more than eight million years ago. The research was published in the journal Cell.Bringing science education to the incarceratedWe speak with a scientist who spent much of his summer working in Canadian prisons doing brief, but intense, science education courses.

Imaginer que l'espace-temps — ce tissu invisible qui structure l'univers — puisse onduler comme une mer agitée, c'est déjà vertigineux. Mais tenter de « voir » ces ondulations à des milliards de kilomètres, c'est l'objectif extraordinaire de la mission LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna), un projet spatial ambitieux de l'Agence spatiale européenne (ESA), en collaboration avec la NASA, prévu pour un lancement vers 2035.Mais que cherche-t-on à observer exactement ? Et pourquoi parle-t-on d'un pari scientifique presque insensé ?Pour le comprendre, il faut revenir à Albert Einstein. En 1916, dans sa théorie de la relativité générale, il prédit que des événements cosmiques extrêmement violents — comme la fusion de trous noirs ou l'explosion d'étoiles massives — provoquent des ondes gravitationnelles. Ces ondes sont des déformations de l'espace-temps, voyageant à la vitesse de la lumière, un peu comme des rides sur l'eau.Ces ondes ont été détectées pour la première fois en 2015 par les détecteurs LIGO et Virgo, installés sur Terre. Mais leur sensibilité reste limitée. Elles captent surtout des signaux « courts » et très puissants. Pour aller plus loin, pour capter les ondes gravitationnelles les plus basses fréquences, les plus longues et les plus anciennes — celles qui pourraient révéler la formation des galaxies ou les premiers instants de l'univers — il faut sortir de la Terre. D'où LISA.La mission LISA sera composée de trois satellites positionnés en triangle, séparés de 2,5 millions de kilomètres, qui flotteront dans l'espace en suivant l'orbite terrestre autour du Soleil. Ces satellites seront reliés par des faisceaux laser ultra-précis, capables de mesurer des variations de distance de l'ordre du milliardième de millimètre. Si une onde gravitationnelle traverse ce triangle, elle déformera très légèrement l'espace entre les satellites. Cette infime variation sera détectée grâce aux interférences des lasers.C'est là que le pari devient vertigineux : LISA ne « voit » rien au sens classique, elle mesure des distorsions minuscules dans un vide spatial, provoquées par des événements cosmiques survenus parfois il y a des milliards d'années. Un exploit technologique et scientifique, qui demande une stabilité extrême, une précision au-delà de tout ce que l'humanité a construit jusque-là dans l'espace.LISA, c'est donc bien plus qu'un télescope : c'est une oreille cosmique, tendue dans le silence spatial pour écouter les battements les plus profonds de l'univers. Et si elle réussit, elle nous offrira une nouvelle façon de faire de l'astronomie, non plus en observant la lumière, mais en sentant les vibrations de l'espace-temps lui-même.

The Desert Fathers make it very clear that in every element of our faith life we are being drawn into the mystery of God and the kingdom. Therefore, we must become comfortable with living in mystery; of being immersed in a reality that is beyond intellect and reason and comprehended solely through the gift of faith and the light that God bestow upon us.  We often move very quickly to dissect what has been revealed to us by God, both for ourselves and others. Discussing matters of faith and reading books about dogma, however, can cause a man's compunction to wither and disappear. We often cling to the notional and the abstract rather than focusing upon our relationship with God and seeking purity of heart. The Fathes tell us it is the lives in the sayings of the elders that enlighten the soul and fill it with spiritual tears. Our lives then must be shaped by the Gospel and as one elder tells us we must seek to draw Christ into every part of our life. We love and follow a humble and crucified Lord; One who has been afflicted for our sin and who seeks our healing. Thus, our lives should mirror the simplicity of our Lord. We must not pamper the body in such a way that we weaken the spirit of contrition within our hearts. Neither must we fear affliction, but rather embrace it when it comes into our lives; knowing that God and his Providence allows it and through it perfects our virtue.  To a certain extent, we must be willing separate ourselves from the world and surround ourselves with those who seek and desire the same thing. How else can we maintain the spirit of contrition? The world itself and our culture has become antithetical to the gospel. The cross has been and always will be a stumbling block to those without faith. The more those in the world become focused upon material goods and comforts and a manner of life that is contrary to the teachings of the gospel, we must strive to genuinely and heroically to conform our lives to Christ regardless of the costs. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:09:31 Maureen Cunningham: I think it like a rally good restaurant it always word of mouth 00:10:56 Maureen Cunningham: What is sub stack and how is it different 00:11:10 Maureen Cunningham: You tube is also a big 00:11:38 Bob Čihák, AZ: substack.com in short. 00:11:50 iPad (2): Yes Father I agree with you 100% 00:11:56 Bob Čihák, AZ: Look & see. 00:15:53 Andrew Adams: I vote website, but I don't do social media anyway.
