- I find the story of gravitational wave detection fascinating, particularly as it shows the deep skepticism of scientists. First, disbelieve.

this guy is worth every cent people paid him. he's skeptical of his own findings, and definitely a very good scientist.
Especially after looking forward to it for 20 years
sadakotube he's an MIT PhD, shows his class
Digging around for weeks for literal tin foil conspiracies that could explain the result before believing what they wanted to believe. I'm kind of in awe.
People from India should learn from him. Atleast my religious parents should, haha!

It's refreshing to see a scientist literally doubt his results until he can't anymore.
ummm so literally what all good scientists do all the time everywhere?
You're implying that they're all good. There's a lot of scientists who "massage" their results until they get something worth publishing. Even high end scientists do it, like people who synthesize new chemical elements.
Right! But here's the thing, he wasn't even happy about it.
I don't get the point of this. He feels so bored about it, while its one of the greatest discoveries of the XXIst century!
I'd have gone crazy at first, and then doubt it. But not always doubting that much; that, in my opinion, removes a bit of humanity.
But I'm not him, and he can be whatever he wants to be. :)
Charles Hanson Descartes would be proud
That's what happens when scientists are pressured to publish to keep their position. It doesn't make for good science.
Now that is a good scientist. Try your absolute hardest to disprove your own findings in order to trust your own findings. I'm glad to see that kind of healthy science is still around.
Shame that so many people in the comments do not understand this (well, at least a dozen so far). They think science is woo woo and that skepticism is a fault. Anything other than immediate results isn't science to them.
It's because companies like buzzfeed post stories the second a scientist says they might have something. Like when NASA says they found a new planet in the Goldilocks zone, buzzfeed goes out and says "NASA just discovered a new planet that they say may harbor sentient life" its the complete lack of attention span feeding the downfall of good science...
Exactly... we have model of an atom which was proposed by many scientist like rishi kannad, jj thomson, rutherford, neil bohr who disproved earlier discoveries.

What about the linear thermal expansion at a measurable scale with a caliper or on a quantum level? If this device can detect a change in distance down to 1.0E-18 meters, then I'm sure it has to do with the thermal expansion and contraction of the mechanical components on this big rig.
Think about it:
I chose 410 stainless steel for the metal since it has a low thermal expansion coefficient [a], aluminum is over twice that.
Linear Thermal Expansion -
dL = L_o × a × dT
Where......
dL = 1.0E-18 m
L_o = 4,000 m
a = 9.9E+6 m/(m-K)
dT = ?
So......
dT = 1.0E-18÷[4,000 m × 9.9E-6 m/(m-K)]
dT = 2.5E-17 K
That is only a temperature change of 0.000000000000000025 degrees Celsius needed to show this change between the two waves of these lasers!
Not possible to control the ambient temperature in the lab to be that steady.
Peter Taylor
That is why they built two of them. any errors that are caused by thermal strain or vibrations will only be seen in one and will be independent of the other. therefore they can calibrate them off each other and search for the patterns that are the same in both of them. Think of it as a DNA electrophoresis but with a couple hundred million bands instead of a few dozen. If you put in both sets and pull out only the parts that match up, then you get information that is independent of local error.
Ideally there would be more than two because everyone knows that there are two spots on exact opposite sides of the planet that have the same temperature and pressure, so it is possible that the two machines will experience a hiccup that is close enough to get past the filters. I totally get where your argument is coming from, 10^-18 is absurdly small, but I am just saying that they seem to at least be trying to put in their due diligence and find and eliminate all of the errors that they can that could bias their results.
I met this professor in India where he came to give a lecture at my university. Coolest guy ever.
I wasn't a physics major and his lecture was for physics majors but the way he explained everything made physics look so much easier.
Just explained using basic college mathematics and good analogies.
And yes, his shirt still looked the same which was funny since my gang of researchers for the first time felt represented in an overly bureaucratic and "must look clean" indian research environment.
Who is he?
And which college did he come???
@@meetpremchandani3531 his name is Rana Adhikari
Which college brother?
Was the college IISc or IIT?

Definition of optimism: Wearing Laser goggles to protect your eyes from a MW Laser, even when you know that it would vaporize your head in a fraction of a second.
my guess is that if that powerful a laser had its light even reflected on a wall across the complex you would go instantly blind, might help a bit in case of a catastrophic failure.
Plus he's lookin' pretty fly.
Yeah like others said it's to protect from stray reflections. See styropyro's video in which he played with a tattoo laser. His camera wasn't even facing the laser but its sensor got a bit damaged due to reflections
it makes him look cool!
@@nilaksh007 There are probably also pump-lasers at play which have much less power and against which you can protect yourself with the glasses.
While I like the video on the main channel, this interview here is even more interesting to watch.
yeah I found his story fascinating - not the reaction I expected.
Derek, Prof Adhikari seems real interesting. You guys talk about anything else for future videos?
2veritasium yes! I watched so many videos since the announcement, so many lectures. And his story is completely different and more real sounding.
Yup, I totally agree :) Not to say that the first video isn't awesome, it is, great job, but the neaty gritty is in this one, I feel.
Easily the least nerdy physics nerd I've ever seen. Brilliant interview.
The level of scepticism showed here by these scientists is refreshing to see today
It took him 3 weeks to reach a "slow boil"! Insane! I too am sceptic as hell sometimes but it damn sure is refreshing.
hahahahahahahaha, mate. that's exactly what I was thinking. amazing. simply amazing.
Scientists are generally quite skeptical today!, 100 years ago we hardly even did peer review. Sure there are problems to improve on, but things are probably better than ever.
after all these toiling skepticism to assure truth, politicians comment:"scientific facts are just narratives" i.e. climate change
I just spent an afternoon reading about new-age-like "studies" and "discoveries", and this video is so refreshing. THIS is the border between "science" and the real science: skepticism. These guys worked so hard to prove themselves wrong.
I'd like to see more videos like this where researchers describe how they came to their results rather than just the results themselves. I think this sort of thing is exactly what's missing from science education - and it's why people convince themselves of things like fake moon landings and flat earth etc. We're generally just told the end result of the research, and all the nitty-gritty work of eliminating alternative scenarios is mostly ignored. So people naturally get the sense that scientists themselves are ignoring those alternative scenarios - when in fact, they're the most skeptical folks of all.
I thank you for this comment. Its like science comes with mathematics and a lot of boring stuff which we, impatient beings like to avoid. Look at this guy, he is after this for 20 years! Cannot believe his level of patience! Science needs more patience than anything else.
On the real though the moon landing was faked at Area 51 - the second shooter is the lady in pink.

If you have talent and you have qualifications, you can ask these institutions for raw data and interpret them yourself. Who knows maybe your findings can help.

I love how you just let him speak in this video, no cutting to the point or anything. Very interesting to watch
Absolutely the sign of a great interviewer.

Saw this msg, liked it
After four years
That's how gravitational waves works
This youtube is a masterpiece and one of the few that I watch a couple of times a year
I mean he is not Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Great scientific discoveries don't generally start with "Eureka!", but with a: "Hmm, that's funny."
Most of the stuff today, is already discovered or invented or explored or ... For some, life is already too good to be true.
ruclips.net/video/XWzXq3sbAbk/видео.html
And you stole this quote from I-can't-remember-who.
That's because these discoveries is the data matching years and YEARS of theoretical calculations.
So either "That's funny." or "That seems to match the hypothesis." would be likely.
The greek guy found a solution to a problem and therefore yelled: "I have it!" being Eureka in Greek.
@@kumardigvijaymishra5945 you understand that we have only mapped 35% of our oceans? There is still much unexplored territory below the waves
One way (of many) to achieve this level of jadedness is to have your heart broken again and again by people you incorrectly thought you meant everything to. Once you have reached that realm of I no longer expect anything from this universe you become Professor Rana Adhikari.
The guy is enlightened.
Working on a subject for more than 10 years takes its toll.
And he was blessed by a perfect event when they turned on their gizmo.
Gods looking out for this dude. :)
This gives me Goosebumps.. knowing that now being a grad student, doing a PhD in gravitational waves, actually finding these things, parameters of the blackholes.. how humble and perfect was the first detection. Even after numerous detections over the last 5 years, that one still remains one of the loudest. It's like the universe was waiting for us to start the detector and send the perfect signal.
Wow PhD on gravitational waves.. super cool
hey really great i am also willing to get a PhD after my Undergrad gets over and along the way I am making videos on science would you spare 5 mins of your time to comment how is my content ??
Sister. What kind of single did you mentioned and for what purpose?
(Are you in iit?)
The universe predicted that these people would turn on the detector in 30 minutes shy of a billion years.
Now that you put it that way I also got goosebumps! just the right time!
That guy is really good at explaining
No he isn't. He is the opposite of drama and excitement.
I really appreciated his explanations.
Hi destin, Glad to see you over here! Really like your videos
hi destin , how you doin
At the end of the video i literally said "wow"
Shit man, all I did was turn my washing machine on...
DataStorm You have one heck of a washing machine!
J. H. You should see his dryer!
DataStorm Don't put the cat in the washing machine
Schrodinger! Put down that cat!
In what state?
I seriously cannot get enough of Professor Adhikari.
@Tsai Hsieh What is the context of your comment?
@Tsai Hsieh Dimag ke screw thik hai toh, ya ek do shopping karte waqt gir gaya tha?
@Tsai Hsieh Tune hi toh kal kaha tha ki tere "G" mein ek kutte ne bahut zor se pela tha ..
He is so well spoken that the cello example gave me goosebumps
I agree. Such a brilliant, beautiful, human, deep, timeless, and powerful thing to say.
I really want to say the editor should get a raise, but I’d rather have the money split in a way where a reasonable amount, is used to get high quality information like the kind in this video.
That said, I agree. The cello was an awesome touch that helped intensify the point of patient excitement.
the gravitational waves distorted this guys' shirt.
Ross Gabriel it should be, guy's shirt*. Possessive not plural.
In "this guys shirt" there should be an apostrophe so it should be "guy's," since the guy owns the shirt.
In this case no, because the shirt belongs to the guy. It's more like saying "that's Ross' hat"
Ross Gabriel the apostrophe is used as the possesive indicator rather that a plural as death by youtube said. guy's shirt does not mean guy is shirt
leave it to the English teachers to argue over grammar on youtube comments.
This my friends, is a REAL scientist. He is so focused on the task at hand that he wore THAT shirt for this interview.
That is his Einstein homage
Something wrong with that shirt?
@@sriharshacv7760 Nothing a little ironing wouldn't cure... and maybe get it a size larger?
@@carlwitt7950 story says he had it for 2 decades
I'm not even a scientist or someone doing particularly important stuff and I view dressing up as a waste of time. Buying clothes is a waste of time AND resources. I wear the same 5 shirts to work every week, in the order i take them out of the washing machine.
"The calculation of the waveform is very simple. It's the easiest thing to find."
Uh, huh. Yep. Absolutely.
you know, a very basic merger of black holes nothing complicated or weird
hahaha
The easiest is the hardest when it comes to that and yet, he still fails.
also blackholes are very simple to calculate........
Hahaah
Well ... there's a lot in classical physics that's even more difficult
He just means that there’s no mass or EM i interference like there would be with white dwarfs or neutron stars
"Each day I believed a little more." That's the best way I've heard responsible scientific development summed up. And maybe a phrase to view our lives in the world by too. There are few eureka moments. Things take time, and scrutiny. Be wary of people offering quick fixes and easy answers.
Always doubt and be skeptical! Until the Science says we know something, then hunt down the bigoted deniers and hate-filled cavemen!
The music at the end was a nice touch.
briansmobile1 didn't expect to see you here.
😏
You spoiled it
Breathtaking amount of enthusiasm, this person has.
He's one of my profs.... He's like this every day
Much to learn, you still have.
This guy is a tenacious dude... He doesn't get discouraged when things don't work out.
@@fgbhrl4907 Not in a hurry ; hype need not apply.
This is such a great example of the scientific method at work (I'm not even talking about the mind-boggling absurdity of the scientific and engineering feats that lead to this measurement, just their reaction).
They measured a signal and instead of celebrating what they had supposedly done, they took every conceivable measure to that they *didn't* succeed. And only then, as they could not prove their data wrong, they accepted that it was right.
Exactly this is why science works!
You're missing that at the very beginning he didn't even bother to look at the measurement and only did because the others who he discouraged from bothering kept looking at it despite him. There's a fine line between skepticism and cynicism and when you start ignoring things that are actually valuable, that's cynicism.
@@EGarrett01 glass half empty, glass half full - eventually someone will want to sip from it. I agree, you might be right, but what's important is his perspective changed.
@@EGarrett01 its just his figure of speech i think. He didnt wanna hype it up cause it might introduce a bias. He decided to look at it kn a more condusive atmosphere
@@Saucemcfloss You can't change your perspective if you don't look at things that might change it.

Yeah, bet he's an awesome teacher. Knows his shit but able to relate it in such a laid back simple way.
He looks bored by everything though. What's that sound? Oh, it's just a bomb exploding. Nothing much interesting.
+Pramod Herath I don't get that impression at all. I can see that he's being laid-back and casual and doesn't get HYPE over things as a stereotypical enthusiast might, but the way he talks about things conveys to me a deep appreciation of his work. I've had several professors similar to this and they're often extremely interesting to talk with and learn from.
@@Vulcapyro Agreed. SOOOOOOOoooooooooo much better than the commentators on every single "Space" docu-series from Science Channel, History Channel, et. al. I LOVE Amy Mainzer, bc she's laid-back, even keeled like this fellow. Alex Filippenko is made to look as if he shit himself and is waiting to see if you smell it bc it's hilarious, his life's goal, and he's to act goofy and excited. I've watched his lectures and he's actually REALLY laid back, chill as fuck, and down to Earth. Idiot tv producer I guess. I ABSOLUTELY LOATHE Michelle Thaller's tv appearances because it's as if she is speaking down to you, even though she' really not; and although Thaller is a GENIUS (Filipenko as well, who I think won or was at least on the team that won astronomy Nobel prize), for God's sake, PLEASE, just talk at normal speed and normal cadence!!!!!!!!

He should've kept that attitude, this black hole shit is bogus as fuck
I need to get my shirt pressed!!
"Spends billions"
"The first results are in!"
"I don't care (yet)"
😂😂😂
The guy in the thumbnail is like "bruh...what is gravity even...like...bruh"
And here we see the super-skeptic in his native habitat 🧐
Watch as he takes great care to not allow himself to see what he wants to see. A spectacular specimen.
He didn't look at it at all, that was cynicism. Others kept checking it despite him discouraging them from doing so. You need to doubt, but not to to the point that you assume negativity and don't bother.
Now that fella is a proper scientist. His scepticism does him pride. But more than that, he's also an artist. The way he described his work, comparing it to cello music, was fantastic. It perfectly summed up what he's doing in a way anyone can relate to. Brilliant stuff 👏
He seems like gangster
I noticed that a lot of great scientists are also very drawn to art and especially music
I absolutely love Prof Rana Adhikari's music analogy. I smiled and thought of Rufus Wainwright's song Vibrate.
Yes, love the music analogy. So beautiful, soothing and heart warming ... a special feeling evoked.
This is the type of quality reaction video that reaction channels should do. Teens react to New Horizons and Pluto, elders react to CERN and Higgs Boson etc.
Best thing to do is just not watch reaction videos. They're all stupid, even if they were reacting to this.
Bozhe moi! This I know from nothing.
What I'm going to do?
+Imperialx Nope. There's a similar ratio of dumb and smart people in most places.
Sometimes, this is skewed, like in Japan's case

Putting in the Cello music at the end was GOLD
I wish skepticism and its role in science were taught and explained more thoroughly in public schools. I had a physics professor once who told me that putting 3 physicists on a problem should produce at least 4 opinions or something was wrong.
i could listen to him for forever. this voice and way of talking is so ... i dont even know how to describe this. just talk as long as you want and i will listen.
man, i love this man.
Reminds of one of my science teacher in high school, coolest teacher I ever had
Why not move to Pasadena, enroll at Caltech, and obtain a BS in physics? Chances are, you'll run into him in the halls of the Physics Dept. building
idk maybe he is single
go for it champ
Explaining one of the most astonishing phenomenons in the universe is pretty bad ass, but with special _sun glasses_ on, is a "deal with it" level of badassery!
I think it's a safety requirement. As our host wears one too. In a quite confined space, not a lot of light. But that's just a guess.
@@nguyenvu8262 They have a 1 megawatt infrared laser inside this room. I'd assume the sun glasses are to protect their eyes from little reflections, like in case the laser hits a little spec of dust or something along those lines.
@@itsmebatman In that case, it's definitely a safety requirement.
Honestly one of the most genuine and insightful science videos I've ever watched. Rewatching this today for the third time since it was released. Thanks so much for posting this.
I've watched this at least 7 times since it came out, really like this interview and idk why
Ditto buddy. Sometimes when i need to introspect, i watch this. It is pure in an unexplainable way
This guy talks so well! We need him at the front line to change the world!
That's right; Promote someone out of where they are effectual, because they are effectual, to a position where they can no longer impact the thing they're good at. /Peter Principle
That cello analogy at the end was super interesting
As a dev who is often afraid to test his own code fearing that I might find a bug and might have to stay back at office longer, you have changed my mindset forever.
We need more interviews like this!!! Give us a peek behind the curtain. Allow us to see the fallibility of Scientists. I would have never guessed that someone would doubt their results so early in detection. It was quite refreshing to see that they weren't eager to accept the findings, but felt the need to explain it alternatively. Great science!!!
A comfortable scientist- eloquent & rumpled shirt. Wonderful !
camera man has been drinking.
I noticed when the music kicked in, "This would be a really nice moment, if the camera would stop trying to simulate gravitational waves."
you mean shrinking..
The camera might have been heavy to hold so the guy might've been struggling
I am glad you posted this video. I think there are many skeptics who are not convinced enough, so the details about gravitational waves detection are very useful.
A typical carefully careless looking Bengali guy speaking so persuasively and yet in depth about science! Proud to be a Bengali ❤️
It's like debugging but irl
I really enjoy the pessimism of researchers when they stumble on a large break through.
if you loose your shit then you will get disappointed if you got false positives
Skepticism isn't pessimism!
You've missed the joke I was making mate.
I missed it, too. Can you explain?
I think most people would react the same way.
You can't tell the world such an amazing finding if it isn't 100% bulletproof with solid evidence to back it up, because of the risk of looking like a complete idiot and ruining your career.
Beautiful interview, my hair stood up at the end. Science in action, hats of to both of you and LIGO team!
The emotion in the guy's voice is intense! You can really hear how much it means to him... After all the time and dedication, to have it happen, must be amazing. I wish I could go to that moment, of this interview, and as you start hearing that emotion, ask him what exactly he is feeling, and around what exactly,.. It's really beautiful to hear and see,.. I wish it would have been explored more,.. But what you hear in his voice is just beautiful,.. Especially considering how much he talks about not feeling much at the time of detection... neato,...
Wow. I loved this video. Even better than the main video.
dudeman has the most wrinkled shirt in history
Comes with the job.
No it doesn't. It comes from extreme neglect.
Following Feynman "whatever man, I don't have time for this nonsense"
doesn't iron his clothes.
Aint nobody got time for that!
This is such a complex topic but he delivers it so well for anyone to understand. Great!
So real. In our experiments, whenever we got results that confirmed hypothesis the crew would assemble along with several other physicists and chemists to debunk it. Negative results = keep regular schedule, enjoy work and life. Positive results = lots of extra work and doubting every step, long hours of near obsession to find our mistakes. Great when someone caught a computational error early but if after thorough examination and rechecking we can't find an error then the best you get is a "maybe". Once the evidence was so clear and repeatable that we were overjoyed to receive a "probably right".
Haha, so true. When I measured my Phd stuff we thought it looked like an artifact and repeated the measurement about 10 times in slightly different and more careful ways which took about a year before we finally succumbed to experimental evidence.
The description of a live performance was such a good visual for me. It's as if we are the fabric in which the gravitational waves pass through/on top, and that is amazing.
why are they both wearing protective glasses? is this video safe to watch??!
There are lasers in the room, high power ones. Protection is necessary. And yes, the video is safe to watch.
Whatever is going on in this room, your computer screen can't do it, so don't worry x)
guys.. it was a joke lmao
xD ok, couldn't know.
I've read to many comment to rely on "well, that has to be sarcasm".
Have a good day, bud!
This is an exceptional interview - thanks so much
ONE OF THE GREATEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN. CONGRATS! THIS IS AWESOME AND BOTH OF YOU ARE GREAT. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
The way he explained the concept of his working science curiosity with the music instrument is simply magnificent.
Dr. Adhikari, thank you for all that explanation. It really meant a lot to me. I guess to anybody else. It is important for scientists to question their findings and have their hardest judge being themselves. Thank you for pointing that out. Thanks for your findings and thanks for being an excellent instructor on scientific humbleness 101.
I love the passion this man has for this form of artistry he does. I can sense this finding was a unique spiritual experience for him, underneath his heavy logic and skepticism. This synchronicity was confirmation of the connection we have with everything that exists. He wanted to find and hear the signal as much as the universe wanted to be heard. 💕🍃💕🍃
i love the music at the end. and a great analogy

Well he is one of the smartest people of the smartest people.

Nice touch with the gradual cello music fading in towards the end! Subtle but very powerful!
This makes me shiver every time I think about it. The magnitude of this event is just... unlike anything I would have ever imagined!
Love your videos dude! Great role model and truly inspiring
Very inspiring...
I loved the image, how passion for science can connect with the emotional force of a few notes from a cello.
For what it's worth, I believe this also happened as part of the massive Mt. St. Helen's eruption. A seismic observation grid was built and turned on (for long term research) a mere two weeks before the mountain started rumbling. People thought it was broken.

This dude is such a great interview! Crackin me up.
This clip is fantastic! Thank you!
He works on gravitational forces .. no wonder he is so down to earth
Whoa, this one is just GREAT. Thanks, Derek!
You did that sudden zoom at his face when he started talking about the cello music.
And I didn't notice it at first, but I did notice the shift in tone and the "scene" suddenly became emotionally powerful.
We're living in exiting times... I really think this is the Golden Age of Science and it will only get better.
Great video. Loved his Chello analogy
It is kind of embarrassing to admit I love science this much: when that cello started playing, I actually teared up. This skepticism, dedication (obsession? lol) and determination not to believe in something until the data forces you to -- that's science. I admire these folks so much.
Such a great guy! Loved the interview
Thank you for making all these wonderful videos.
This guy should win two Nobels, one for Physics and one for Charisma

When you're doing videos in labs like this, it would be awesome if you had your spherical camera recording as well, i love looking around labs in 360/spherical videos...
Great work man! Godspeed !
I liked listening to him doubt his own work, so much more than the main video. I'm so glad that this still exists. This NEEDS to exist. Science NEEDS this time of skepticism! Well done to the team, and to Veritasium on this video!
A super smart and capable person interviewing an absolute genius.
His description was simply beautiful.
Thank you, a 1000 times and more.
With the news about the confirmed detection, I cried... with joy.
What a fantastic interview. This is solid youtube gold !
This Professor really defines the word cool. You don't just walk in and get a professorship at Cal tech. One of the best scientific interviews I have ever seen. Perfectly executed by the interviewer. I spent a summer session at Cal Tech in the mid 70's. It is an unusual place to say the least. The basement halls were lined with the laboratories of Nobel laureates in both physics and biology. However, there was a distinct lack of pretense......just as conveyed in this interview. The turn of the century Los Angeles architecture was a sharp contrast to the futuristic scientific advancements made on the campus. The only thing I could say about the dormitories was that their essence was accurately captured in the movie Real Genius. Visit Cal Tech if you get a chance. Thanks for this great interview.
7:52 what an analogy man,couldn't explain it any better in any form
wow! the background cello was so great! So well blended, it took me quiet a while to understand that its coming from the headphone. I first thought my mom has started playing her violin.
This is a really great interview :)
