The announcement is the climax of a century of speculation, 50 years of trial and error, and 25 years perfecting a set of instruments so sensitive they could identify a distortion in spacetime a thousandth the diameter of one atomic nucleus across a 4km strip of laserbeam and mirror.
The phenomenon detected was the collision of two black holes. Using the world’s most sophisticated detector, the scientists listened for 20 thousandths of a second as the two giant black holes, one 35 times the mass of the sun, the other slightly smaller, circled around each other.
At the beginning of the signal, their calculations told them how stars perish: the two objects had begun by circling each other 30 times a second. By the end of the 20 millisecond snatch of data, the two had accelerated to 250 times a second before the final collision and a dark, violent merger.
The observation signals the opening of a new window on to the universe.
A century of speculation, no wonder people are starving. Come on are u guys reading this? Are you just closing your eyes opening your mouth and letting them stick in what ever they want?tf?
firstly i think there is bs going on but if i do accept this bs then we are way far behind in our spiritual growth. Dont forget what sting said... we are spirits in the material world....better get balanced soon or the world will do it for you. Or is that what you need?
