On September 14, 2015, we saw, in both detectors, a gravitational wave.
They were gravitational waves.
But it was true, and to clear up any doubt that the detectors really could measure these things, in December of that same year, we measured another gravitational wave, smaller than the first one.
The first gravitational wave produced a difference in the distance of four-thousandths of a proton over four kilometers.
We like to say that gravitational waves now have a purpose, because we're opening up a new way to explore the universe.
Now we can listen to the sound of the universe, even of things that don't emit light, like gravitational waves.
Can't we derive any technology from gravitational waves?
The higher we build, the higher the gravitational pressure from the upper stories on the lower ones.
We know it's there by its gravitational effects.
In fact, this dark matter dominates the gravitational effects in the universe on a large scale, and I'll be telling you about the evidence for that.
If it's constant, that means that the stars out here are feeling the gravitational effects of matter that we do not see.
They're moving around in this gravitational potential well of this cluster, OK.
And that was that the gravitational field, due to mass, will deflect not only the trajectory of particles, but will deflect light itself.
We call this gravitational lensing.
We shave it off, and I have a little gravitational lens, OK.
And again, this is a kind of an accurate model of what happens with the gravitational lensing.
And we see these gravitational lensing effects, these distortions that say that, again, clusters are embedded in dark matter.
So clusters of galaxies will tend to form, because of all this gravitational attraction.
Dark energy, on the other hand, is putting more and more space between the galaxies, makes it, the gravitational attraction between them decrease, and so it impedes the growth of structure.
If the expansion of the universe continues to accelerate, it will eventually overcome not only the gravitational force – tearing apart galaxies and solar systems– but also the electromagnetic, weak, and strong nuclear forces which hold atoms and nuclei together.
Galaxies would start rushing towards each other, and as they clumped together their gravitational pull would get even stronger.
This is the last place in the universe you would expect to find a planet, but they had very methodically looked at this pulsar, and they detected the gravitational tug of this planet as it orbited the pulsar.
We can also include two more charges corresponding to the gravitational force.
And all these faults are subject to varying gravitational forces, as well as the currents of hot rocks moving throughout Earth’s mantle.
SD: So you may have heard of "spaghettification," where you fall into a black hole and the gravitational field on your feet is much stronger than on your head, so you're ripped apart.
SD: Black holes really are the central mystery of our age, because that's where the quantum world and the gravitational world come together.
Anything that gets too close to the central singularity of a black hole, be it an asteroid, planet, or star, risks being torn apart by its extreme gravitational field.
Even another black hole won’t destroy it– the two will simply merge into a larger black hole, releasing a bit of energy as gravitational waves in the process.
And, as we've learned in the last few years, galaxies are held together by the gravitational pull of so-called dark matter: particles in huge swarms, far smaller even than atomic nuclei.
Must have been frustrating back in 1840 to see these gravitational effects of this distant, giant planet but not yet know how to actually find it.
