A Second Set Of Gravitational Waves Have Been Detected

Watts Up With That ^ | 15 June 2016 | Anthony Watts

Today, the LIGO collaboration is reporting the detection of GW151226, the second confirmed flash of gravitational radiation after GW150914, the historic first detection registered three months earlier.

Einstein theorizes time slows but that has never been proven.

Atomic clocks in orbit. Time slows down for the faster ones.

186,000 miles per second seems to me to be an arbitrary barrier.

I agree........Look at what fuel injection and super chargers did to auto racing........

It thus appears that one particle of an entangled pair "knows" what measurement has been performed on the other, and with what outcome, even though there is no known means for such information to be communicated between the particles, which at the time of measurement may be separated by arbitrarily large distances.

The working of matter, at the subatomic level, transcends out understanding, in real time, of space.

Obviously a direct result of global warming. Legislation forthcoming.

Probably because they are in fact, the same particle....

Thanks zeestephen! Third:

Part of Einstein’s 1915 Theory of General Relativity.

Nothing travels faster than the speed of light. So far.

Have you toured LIGO here at Hanford? Quite interesting.

It’s only arbitrary because we measure it in two arbitrary units of measure.

Relativity is hugely successful at predicting time slowing with velocity and mass increase with velocity and length contracting with velocity. The relevant equations are as follows:

The experiments have been done repeatedly for over 100 years. It would be big news if they weren't proven.

If you take the mass equation and make V² > C² you end up with an imaginary rest mass M₀ whatever that means.

Tachyons? I read an article in the 60s in Scientific American that said they gained speed when the collided with other particles, and that some had had so many collisions and were moving so fast that they were everywhere all the time! Kinda boggled my teenage mind!

WHOA! DUDE! says scientist pictured below

Al Gore: The sea levels are rising so rapidly it will sink New York!

Michael Moore: Al, no. I just went for a swim at Fire Island.

Tour LIGO - Great suggestion.

I never thought about that being so close, even while I was reading the article.

I lived in south Florida until age 40.

I’ve been on the West Coast for 20 years.

In a weird way I can’t exactly explain, Oregon and Washington state still seem like foreign countries I might visit one day.
