That way, you can stay in the wilderness with your great all seeing eye till the end of days.

Am so excited that this discovery happened in my generation, just imagine the relativity theory practically taking it's full applications, this will really go a long way in space research and exploration.

Actually this is the first time they have been a direct detection. The first detection was indirect
yes. This is the first direct detection. however, this is certainly not the first time they verified the concept of gravitational waves. in fact, LIGO was built to detect gravitational waves BECAUSE they had already been verified. what was left was to study them directly.
MathsChic:

It would take a really long while. Gravitational waves are very, very weak. Almost indiscernible. It took on upgrade on those interferometers to detect the weak energy from the biggest collision that could ever produce gravitational waves.
The problem with controlling gravity is certainly not its weakness, but It's dislocation from electricity. if we can find a unified theory connecting gravity to electricity, then it's weakness will not matter.
for instance, magnetism is far stronger than gravity. however, it cannot interact with nonmagnetic materials, making it entirely useless for cool things like levitation. despite the fact that it is connected to electricity.
the strong force as well. very well named. but it doesn't interact easily with electricity. so we literally can't use it for anything. angry

A cool analogy would be a really beautiful woman. whom you can never date, because she doesn't understand the language you're speaking.

We still have a lot to go by...we're still digging up Einstein archives, we've not even started with Nikola Tesla's yet

True bro, but for me the greatest genius of all time was Leonardo di vinici, he was hundreds of years ahead of his time.
Niceman4u:

The importance s dat it will help explain the big bang theory whch talks abt d origin of d earth.
It will also help to explain or prove some physical concepts/law which we never knew that existed.
Kudos to science nd thumbs up to my Role model in the field of physics, Albert Einstein, he predicted this gravitational wave in 1916 nd 100 yrs leta its being proved.
The big bang theory was actually postulated by Georges Lemaitre whose theory Einstein said "his maths was correct but his physics is abominable" note: they were both creationist, so atheist should not twist this discovery.

Where are the physicist nah.. They should explain this thing to us jawe instead of burning mb searching series of blogs.

the significance:
1) It will help scientists to study the universe in a better dimension.
2) It will help to explain the big bang theory, ie the origin of the universe, wit the detection of gravitational wave, the workings nd origin of the universe will be revealed.

If you don't understand the importance of this discovery , think of it this way

There are different waves like

SoUND WAVES
LIGHT WAVES,under ELECTROMAGNECTIC WAVES

WATER WAVES
TIDAL WAVES
VIBRATIONAL WAVES ETC
Now

GRAVITATIONAL WAVES


Just like electromagnectic waves propagation makes it possible for us to send and receive radio signals,radar signals,television signals and even make and receive calls.

Gravitational waves propagation ill make it possible for objects to suspend in the vacumn or air without hitting the earth grin
It has the potential to transmit and receive matter.
Just like e can transmit and receive sound and light signals..grin

The potentials are inumerable tho


Physics is wonderful


Nice one.

Agreed, but let's look at its application using a hovercraft as a case in point. Hovercrafts use thick trampoline like sheets to prevent escape of accumulated air so as not to waste energy in generating more. Now a little manipulation of gravitational waves can remove that bulky exterior and the craft can float comfortably. So in my opinion much isn't needed, remember how man tends to misuse technology manipulate it too much and our earth's gravitational field is in danger.

Wrong!!!!

Being able to detect gravitational wave is a far cry from generating them
Or even manipulating them in the lab, literally no device exist to manipulate or generate gravity, once we can harness the quanta of gravity(graviton) then we can start to look at its application

For now its all just validation of theories

What i really want to know is if these means that gravitons exist, just like photons for light
I mean, graviton is still a hypothetical particle or?

Look Religion,and Science are the same.Reason Science says ''Energy can neither be created nor destroyed'',So the Energies that are in Existence who created them?,Now the scientist said the Gravitational force was created by two black Holes that combined together,which means the bible was correct in saying that in the beginning their was only darkness,before God said let their be Light.
Infact I believe,their are Living Energies,and Non Living Energies,and the two can transfer into each other,but will always maintain balance.
Religion and Science are saying the same thing.look very close,and u will see it

Very soon our lazy ' copy and paste ' naija Profs. wu start troubling students with how to prove an equation. relating the speed of gravitational waves and speed of electromagnetic waves. Only theory we r good in here. when are we gonna have a research centre like LIGO mentioned above?
yeah that would only happen when your government stops using those billions to send some zombies to saudi arabia and jerusalem which do not benefit us in any way and start using the money to build research facilities for the very few bright and curious minds we have in the biggest black nation on earth.

and also when your profs embrace science in the real sense of it not christianological science.

Though am nt science student but with this we can manipulate gravity force of gravity ensures that everytin that goes up comes down with this discovery nw i think for example if plane develop any fault in the space it can be made to float on air instead of crashing down. Just my thought though

Well mr. Dekatron , this discovery in no way plays down on creationism. It rather gives credence to the Creator. Consider this scripture: Psl 19:1-4 "The HEAVENS declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows and proclaims His handiwork.
Day after day pours forth speech, and night after night shows forth knowledge.
There is no speech nor spoken word (from the stars); their voice is not heard.
Yet their voice (in evidence) goes out through all the earth, their sayings to the end of the word." (Amp Vs)
by this I hope you understand that science is a discovery into what God has made.

its the truman show all over again. the nephilims are manipulating the electromagnetic frequencies of the universe to create a gravitational pull on the souls ( which souls are electromagnetic frequencies ) of the rejected into the bottomless pit of wormholes and black-holes. we are on the verge of a major dimension shift is why this has been discovered at this point in time in human history. things are getting ready to change. some souls are going to be alchemically enhanced to higher dimensions while some souls will be gravitationally pulled into wormholes. see, the bible is a scientific book but only for those who can see the esoteric. this is why planet 9x is currently lurking in the trans-neptunian region awaiting entry into the solar system. that planet 9x is residence of the nephilims. they are here

I once had my doubts quite recently about that until I understood that even the smartphone I use in typing this sh*t was CREATED by some people from Canada(look at how certain I am off Canada exists even though I have never been their)....I know this indirectly through others who live there; it's reasonable to admit infirect knowledge just as in the case of faith

Being able to detect gravitational waves enables astronomers finally to probe what they call "dark" Universe - the majority part of the cosmos that is invisible to the light telescopes in use today.
