I'm so happy this channel is still around, it was a driving force for my interest in physics back in high school 6 years ago. Fast forward to today and I'm less than a year away from getting a degree in engineering physics
@@sebastiano97 Hi intelligent person Question: Normally a star is stable because the its own gravity is balanced by force produced inside the star due to nuclear fusion. How are black holes stable then i.e. why isn't all the mass of a black hole in the singularity?
While I agree with the above comment that this is a very hard question, there are some explainable elements. Some matter orbiting a black hole have very large angular momentum relative to the singularity which allows them to continue orbiting for some time. The other important thing to remember about singularities is that they are both an anomaly in terms of space being a point of infinite density, they are also anomolies in terms of time. Things that have fallen into the singularity from the point of view of the singularity, as much as that can even make sense, may appear to us to be still falling in. Also matter that does fall in will eventually escape via Hawking radiation but as far as I know it is not known why.
@@Pain53924 Stability means different things for planets and for black holes. What we call "Black Hole" is what light does around a singularity, where "most" if not all of the mass is. For all we know the Singularity could be a "solid thing". Black Hole is the phenomena of space-bending by what seems pretty much infinite mass in a finite area.

@@Pain53924 A black hole IS the singularity. I assume the part you're getting confused about is the event horizon of a black hole, which isn't part of the mass of the black hole itself, its the radius around it in which gravity is too strong for anything to be able to escape. The event horizon is like the top of a waterfall while the actual black hole would be the lake at the bottom. Water going over the edge of the waterfall isn't part of the lake, yet, but its the point of no return, and that water will invariably become part of the lake soon.
this makes so much sense to me. that's why the universe on a macro scale looks like the light reflections of surface of water in motion, like a pool or something.
Channels like this are so important because monumental discoveries like this are otherwise buried in the noise that is our grasping pop culture soup. I’m constantly appalled that you never see coverage of these stories in mainstream media. (I’d say news but we don’t really have mainstream news sources anymore other than local newspapers.)
While I did watch Dr. Becky's video first, it's important to get the information from multiple sources... I'm happy you referenced her, as that's added evidence of the quality of her channel. Thank you.
Not to be *that* guy, but I know you value accuracy, so I have to point out that LIGO first detected gravitational waves in September 2015, not 2016. I say this with all humility and want to close by telling you how much I really love and appreciate what you do at Spacetime- thank you for opening new worlds to those of us who otherwise would not have access 🙂
My favorite is when RUclipsrs reference other RUclipsrs similar videos, knowing their audience has probably seen said videos instead of bickering about who did it first or best.
This channel continues to be among the very best on RUclips! Thanks so much for making these amazing discoveries a little more accessible to all of us! ...also, galactic gigawhale t-shirts when?
As a theoretical comsologist working on this myself, i was very excited with the new nanograv results. it has more tight bounds on various predictions frmo beyond-GR models, like massive gravity, which is what im working on.
I've been really interested in all the discoveries and space missions that have been happening the last several years, and channels like this one help so much to understand this stuff without needing a degree in quantum physics or something. Thanks for these!
I've watched an explanation on a different channel and read an article on GWB before, but PBS really brought home the idea of angular correlation and anti-correlation, so I'm hugely thankful for that. I feel like I finally understood why this detection was possible in spite of all the possible sources of timing differences. Great stuff, and I hope we can learn more about gravitational waves in the future, most notably pinpoint the source of their background.
before I even watch the full video, I just want to say I love the fact that I never have to panic about 'when will the next video come out that I can binge??' because, if science is happening, you can best believe Matt and the team are going to comment on it. And, as everyone always points out, it's at a level that most can understand! Thank you so much for everything you do.
Oh shoot, I did my undergrad capstone on how ALIGO or the Einstein Telescope wouldn't be able to detect gravitational background waves. So it's really cool to see researchers found an alternative way to measure it! Thanks for the update, I'd stopped following this field, so I'd have never known without this channel!
Wibbly-Wobbly right through the universe, it all vibrating waves, rippling through space-time. This gravitational wave background is fascinating, we have come such a long way in our understanding of the universe, thank you, excellent video.
I honestly cannot appreciate this the existence of this channel enough. So many scientific advances, theories, and just incredibly complex things are broken down so that the average human being can understand. I am always amazed and will continue to look forward to each video, just to see the newest advances of humanity. Thanks SpaceTime!
Thanks for the explanation of the grav waves Matt! You bring a great energy and enthusiasm, and I very much appreciate you shouting out my other two favorite channels for this mind-blowing world of science discoveries. The scientists who work on these projects are all amazing and the cutting edge of human intellectual accomplishment and I really can hardly believe the these things they are doing and what they find out, but I love to hear about it!
The LIGO configuration somehow reminds me of the Michelson-Morley experiment. I'm wondering if we could detect an absolute vector of movement against the gravitational background?
It IS the Michelson-Morley experiment with a precision magnitude of 100x. If their inferometer was 2m wide, LIGO is 4km. So the "aether wind" wasn't disproven, null result does not mean it is disproven - it came back as gravitational waves!
Something else to consider is that a vector of motion against something isn't absolute, thats relative. We can already detect motion against the CMB or stars via light waves.
@@stuartdparnell not a physicist here: what about if we tilt the M&M interferometer 90° vertical ? (making it working on a vertical plane?). What if the aether would existi and "move" from the above space in the earth direction? I'm thinking about superfluid quantum spacetime models, imagining the gravity as a manifestation of spacetime quanta flowing towards the Earth, in a radial direction, generating pressure. Could M-M's interferometer have found anything in that configuration? (laying on a vertical plane?)
@@kylelochlann5053 sure on a flat plane (I know they repeated the experiment from every possibile angle 360°, but the instrumentation was laying horizontal). But on a vertical plane? Did you mean also the vertical case ?
I know we presume it's not, but if the Universe was finite and bounded, would analysis of that "noise" potentially allow to detect interaction with the boundaries?
There are no models that predict any kind of boundary even in a finite volume universe. There's no "outside" of the universe but perhaps you could get measurements of the curvature (wherer it's finite or not) of the universe.
We don't presume anything. As far as a scientist is concerned, there could even be a creator. So boundaries of the universe are most welcome. But, we must test the hypothesis that there may be a boundary. Think about how you would test it and how it can explain existing universe and you have yourself a theory. Good luck 🤞.

Kudos for giving shoutout to the two other astrophysics communicators that i tegularly watch! It's great seeing people not seeing others in the field as competition but as colleges and linking to their videos as well.
Have you noticed this cool thing... The universe shows wave-like behavior on its largest scale (gravitational background, black holes collisions etc) and ALSO on the smallest scale (quantum world, probability waves...) The medium for these waves is not precisely the same (spacetime or "now" for gravity and quantum fields for particles), BUT this wave nature of both relativity-scale and quantum-scale physics seems to be telling us something important. Or is it just my excitement?
The medium /spacetime /quantum /background gravity has long ago been identified as the "AETHER" by Nicola Tesla, for one. It is what a spike of energy we call a photon, perturbs through at the speed of light. When this spike of energy is much higher its actually a particle with mass, a proton ,we call it Matter. a building block of the hydrogen atom. Aether is what connects Spacetime to quantum.
@@jerrykrampera8145 I think the classical 19th century concept of aether has been disproved, and later, kind of, replaced with 'spacetime'. But it seems that the idea of spacetime is confusing even for hardcore physicists. Perhaps because, in its core, spacetime is more of a mathematical, abstract concept dealing with dimensions, rather than part of real physics (which, intuitively, deals with *things* not with nothing). I'm sure there is an episode about spacetime on PBS Spacetime :).
One thing that I've been trying to figure out about this is how the rotation of stars in the Milky Way can be discounted, or subtracted from the result. We needed very precise measurements of the movements and masses of planets in our solar system in order to understand the positioning of the earth to do this, and I suppose that these motions are much more significant.
We're fortunate in that the orbits of stars in our galaxy are both much weaker sources and much longer wavelengths than what the array needs to detect. Galactic orbits are on the range of hundreds of millions of years. Binary star systems however produce shorter wavelengths that COULD conceivably be detected by LIGO type detectors with a bit more sensitivity than the ones we have.
Because the accuracy change caused by gravitational waves is great enough. If I have a cesium clock and a stopwatch, I cannot hope to measure nanosecond changes to the atomic clock. But if I bump it and it skips a few seconds, my stopwatch can see that. To measure the base accuracy of pulsars, we merely need to time it with a bunch of cesium clocks. The cesium clocks and pulsar will 'drift' a certain, random, amount. If the pulsar is totally accurate then it will end up out of step with the clocks by an amount averaging x in a normal distribution. The clocks meanwhile will have drifted from each other MORE since any two clocks will BOTH be drifting, giving twice as much average drift. This allows us to measure something more accurate than our clocks.
Quite a lot, a single decent black hole merger can release more energy in its few seconds than all the stars in the observable universe do via light in that same time. Compared to the mass energy in the universe it's quite small, but on human scales gigantic.
If you played MassEffect you know the core of the galaxy contains not only a maelstrom of blackholes, but the secret hideout of the Reapers 😳 Lets hope they don’t notice we’ve started listening to them!
well, it contains both - but the reapers are not really meant to chill there, only a totally thralled species as a form of backup. Also, leviathans don't live there - they hide elsewhere.
Yeah. Sure you are. You *do* realise that this is a *popular science* channel, nothing more, right? And by its very *definition* it doesn't require a Degree in physics to be able to "understand" it. These aren't lectures, they contain nothing of the mathematics required to be able to *understand* the physics involved, to be able to calculate these things for yourself- they are designed to understood by the layman, by people with little or no background in science beyond high school. So why would you need to become a "physics graduate" to be able to understand something that's presented in a manner that's *specifically designed* to be easily understood. Were you made of Neutronium before your "graduation"... 🙄 🍄
@@the_unrepentant_anarchist. calm down king, it was a joke. Yes, you don't need to know what a hamiltonian is to be able to watch and enjoy these videos, but there's definitely a level of nuance that will be lost in translation unless you have some additional background knowledge to back it up .
In what way? Pilot wave involves a distinct, ordered waveform guiding a particle. This result indicates random, noisy waves moving through space. It's signal vs random noise. It's like saying that a stormy sea is similar to pilot wave theory. I'm not seeing the parallels.
I am a huge fan of the channel but the AI voice filter in your recent videos is extremely distracting to me. Your audio was already perfect! In this day and age we are all beginning to train our eyes and ears to pick up on what's real vs what's AI generated, and this filter raises my alarm bells unintentionally. Obviously I know you guys are a legit and trustworthy source of information, but it still gives me the creeps.
Can we get a breakdown of what might be on the inside of a black hole as if we are disassembling matter down to the Higgs, much like the disassembly of matter at the core of a neutron star?

Is the data public? I would love to build a pulsar delay visualizer from it. Would be interesting to see it in 3D.
I always end up with more questions than answers when watching your channel. And I appreciate that. Thank you.
Has there been any consideration of gravitational permeability? And a follow on of that, the idea of gravitational waves being subject to refraction?

@@JoshuaRolen why do you repeatedly comment this?
Kudos for giving shoutout to the two other astrophysics communicators that i tegularly watch! It's great seeing people not seeing others in the field as competition but as colleges and linking to their videos as well.
I'm too drunk to listen to this now I'll be back
Shoutout to our host here. He was really difficult to understand when he first started and now he's perfectly clear!
Have you noticed this cool thing... The universe shows wave-like behavior on its largest scale (gravitational background, black holes collisions etc) and ALSO on the smallest scale (quantum world, probability waves...) The medium for these waves is not precisely the same (spacetime or "now" for gravity and quantum fields for particles), BUT this wave nature of both relativity-scale and quantum-scale physics seems to be telling us something important. Or is it just my excitement?
Listen closely Matt has been replaced with AI
The medium /spacetime /quantum /background gravity has long ago been identified as the "AETHER" by Nicola Tesla, for one. It is what a spike of energy we call a photon, perturbs through at the speed of light. When this spike of energy is much higher its actually a particle with mass, a proton ,we call it Matter. a building block of the hydrogen atom. Aether is what connects Spacetime to quantum.
Guess who first came up with the idea of probability waves (in a letter he sent to Max Born)?
Rhymes with spine. ; )
@@jerrykrampera8145 Tesla did nothing of the sort. Tesla didn't even understand Relativity. Go look it up.
@@jerrykrampera8145 I think the classical 19th century concept of aether has been disproved, and later, kind of, replaced with 'spacetime'. But it seems that the idea of spacetime is confusing even for hardcore physicists. Perhaps because, in its core, spacetime is more of a mathematical, abstract concept dealing with dimensions, rather than part of real physics (which, intuitively, deals with *things* not with nothing). I'm sure there is an episode about spacetime on PBS Spacetime :).
Great description of a complicated story. Thanks for making the science accessible to non-specialists! :)
Could we use the SMBH in combination with Opera One AI to finally playback earth and find out Einstein's last words?
Love the shoutout to Anton Petrov and Dr Becky Smethurst.
One thing that I've been trying to figure out about this is how the rotation of stars in the Milky Way can be discounted, or subtracted from the result. We needed very precise measurements of the movements and masses of planets in our solar system in order to understand the positioning of the earth to do this, and I suppose that these motions are much more significant.
The orbiting of stars in the Milky Way has no measurable effect on the signal, so there's nothing to subtract here.
Listen closely Matt has been replaced with AI
We're fortunate in that the orbits of stars in our galaxy are both much weaker sources and much longer wavelengths than what the array needs to detect. Galactic orbits are on the range of hundreds of millions of years. Binary star systems however produce shorter wavelengths that COULD conceivably be detected by LIGO type detectors with a bit more sensitivity than the ones we have.
Love the shoutout to Dr. Becky at the beginning! She's great, also an amazing science communicator. :)
If pulsars are more accurate than even caesium clocks, how can we be so sure of our accuracy in measuring them?
Listen closely Matt has been replaced with AI
Because the accuracy change caused by gravitational waves is great enough. If I have a cesium clock and a stopwatch, I cannot hope to measure nanosecond changes to the atomic clock. But if I bump it and it skips a few seconds, my stopwatch can see that.
To measure the base accuracy of pulsars, we merely need to time it with a bunch of cesium clocks. The cesium clocks and pulsar will 'drift' a certain, random, amount. If the pulsar is totally accurate then it will end up out of step with the clocks by an amount averaging x in a normal distribution.
The clocks meanwhile will have drifted from each other MORE since any two clocks will BOTH be drifting, giving twice as much average drift. This allows us to measure something more accurate than our clocks.
Shoutout too my boy anton, bro’s smile at the end of the video always making my day good 💯
If the whole of the universe is wobbling how much energy is involved?
Listen closely Matt has been replaced with AI
Quite a lot, a single decent black hole merger can release more energy in its few seconds than all the stars in the observable universe do via light in that same time. Compared to the mass energy in the universe it's quite small, but on human scales gigantic.
Yes, finally! Have been waiting for this episode for a while.
Listen closely Matt has been replaced with AI
If you played MassEffect you know the core of the galaxy contains not only a maelstrom of blackholes, but the secret hideout of the Reapers 😳 Lets hope they don’t notice we’ve started listening to them!
And the Leviathans...
well, it contains both - but the reapers are not really meant to chill there, only a totally thralled species as a form of backup. Also, leviathans don't live there - they hide elsewhere.
I'm just here to say that I'm finally a physics graduate! At last, I am able to understand PBS Space Time!!!
Yeah.
Sure you are.
You *do* realise that this is a *popular science* channel, nothing more, right?
And by its very *definition* it doesn't require a Degree in physics to be able to "understand" it.
These aren't lectures, they contain nothing of the mathematics required to be able to *understand* the physics involved, to be able to calculate these things for yourself- they are designed to understood by the layman, by people with little or no background in science beyond high school.
So why would you need to become a "physics graduate" to be able to understand something that's presented in a manner that's *specifically designed* to be easily understood.
Were you made of Neutronium before your "graduation"...
🙄

@@the_unrepentant_anarchist. calm down king, it was a joke. Yes, you don't need to know what a hamiltonian is to be able to watch and enjoy these videos, but there's definitely a level of nuance that will be lost in translation unless you have some additional background knowledge to back it up .
I seen dr becky and Anton
perfectly wrapped up with another Space Time finale 👏
Sounds surprisingly similar to the space-time topology described in the discredited pilot wave theory.
Listen closely Matt has been replaced with AI
In what way? Pilot wave involves a distinct, ordered waveform guiding a particle. This result indicates random, noisy waves moving through space. It's signal vs random noise. It's like saying that a stormy sea is similar to pilot wave theory. I'm not seeing the parallels.
Nice shoutout for Becky and Anton :D
I am a huge fan of the channel but the AI voice filter in your recent videos is extremely distracting to me. Your audio was already perfect! In this day and age we are all beginning to train our eyes and ears to pick up on what's real vs what's AI generated, and this filter raises my alarm bells unintentionally. Obviously I know you guys are a legit and trustworthy source of information, but it still gives me the creeps.
Head this missive, listen to the speach closely, Matt has been replaced with an AI
This was a fantastic episode!
Can we get a breakdown of what might be on the inside of a black hole as if we are disassembling matter down to the Higgs, much like the disassembly of matter at the core of a neutron star?
anti-matter are inside black hole
Matt has been replaced with an AI, listen to the words closely. The Globalists have faked science!
This is the first time I understood the Hellings-Downs curve! Thanks!
I love this channel so much. Thank you for always keeping us educated in such a wonderful way.
Awesome! 15 years well spent, thanks!
My new physics where wrote 5 years ago. I love you professor. Good video.
5:06 RIP Arecibo Observatory (William-E.-Gordon-Telescope) 😥
Superb video, as always!
Anton shout out! WOOT!
Thank you guys for another excellent video! The level of precision required for these gravitational wave detectors is mind-blowing. It's such an exciting time to be alive in terms of space science!
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
Greetings from Canada and how much do we Owe you? you are better than any Lecture comming out of
our Universities,,,,, you should be integrated in our schools, and being very critical of what ends up Payed
by Public funds,,,you are one Great Exeption! Bravo!
I'm loving the weird animation of an astronaut swimming through space

So happy to see that shout out to Anton Petrov! He makes great content as well.
Really enjoyed your presentation.
This video is LOVED by Physics students from St. Finian's College Secondary School Mullingar Co. Westmeath Ireland
Thank you... For this channel
Those "regular as clockwork" timing arrays are a wonderful discovery/idea. Who ever thought this up deserves a Nobel Prize.
THAT NEW POST Q+A MUSIC, THO
I just love that the thumbnail looks like the stellar version of rooks from Everything everywhere all at once
You guys have to make a 5Σ shirt or something. Something like "5Σ rock solid certified" or "My standard deviation is 5Σ" no that's not good... anyways PBS Space Time is 1 in 5Σ, keep up the good work!
Great video! I definitely learned a lot due to your wonderful teaching and presenting.
Never regret my subscription, what an amazing video again ❤
Physics is amazing... ❤
Thanks for explaining and making this video. I learned a lot.
That "pair of pulsars" at 9:52 had some real emotional depth behind it
Beautiful lesson
I love pbs spacetime!
Quality content for sure from Space Time.
Love the shout out to Anton.
