Gravitational Wave Discovery! Evidence of Cosmic Inflation
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Baby photos of our universe show huge early growth spurt! Check out Audible: http://bit.ly/AudibleVe Regression to the Mean: http://bit.ly/1lgZQAQ Some clarifications: - The lengthening of wavelengths is not strictly due to stretching by the expanding universe but by the way the photons were emitted and absorbed in different frames of reference. - The effects of gravitational waves have been observed in the decaying orbital periods of some binary star systems, however detectors built to measure gravitational waves stretching and squeezing matter on Earth have not as yet detected them. - In the video I sometimes use the term Big Bang to refer to the beginning of time as we know it. The Big Bang actually refers to the whole process from the formation of our universe, through inflation, to the expanding mass of plasma in the early universe (not just the first instant). - Quantum gravity is by no means established by this observation but it is suggestive that General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are working together here. Thank you to Professor Geraint Lewis and Henry Reich for comments on earlier drafts of this video (even if I haven't accepted all of your corrections).

not sure if you will get this but, i want to make a deal. i will join audible if you can tell me the name of a book(any book) where you were the narrator

The light that reaches the Earth has traveled 14 billion light years, but that doesn't mean it has taken 14 billion years, because if the universe was expanding that means the position of the light has been expanding along with it.
-
Hahahahahabaha guess you were wrong here.
-
I've never seen anyone get so excited about baby photos before
-
who clicked that baby photo
-
I believe in the big bang, but how is the light from 300,000+ years ago after the big bang finally getting to us now? Like after 13 billion years? Or 4 billion years Earth being here? ...without traveling faster than light... I get gravity.. so was light being pulled back in? back to the origin of the big bang cluster for a few billion years? Kinda like how the Sun can hold light (photons) in for 1000+ years before it reaches Earth in 8 minutes.
-
This baby photo would mean the the universe is expanding faster then light? This must be some joke to back up the big bang lol. But I do like the show carry on.
-
Still a small discovery compared to the transistor :)
-
so because of the uncertainty of quantum mechanics we got a lumpy universe and not a uniform universe with atoms separated from each other exactly the same distance so gravity would not have had any effect. is that right ?
-
Cool story bro
-
very wall explained
-
Am I the only one who is absolutely in love with he excited and amazed he is??? It's so lovely and makes me so happy!!
-
How did something so chaotic come into order and discipline to give rise to life ?? Isnt it against the law of entropy ?
-
When were the first g waves produced? Certainly not during bang
-
I'm genuinely amazed that there are people who don't believe in God. A created universe without a creator?
-
thankyou
-
Ok 666k views, i'm expecting something bad today
-
Who is here in 2016, after we discovered gravitational waves?
-
I can't put all my trust in science that people haven't fully fleshed out yet.

he forgot to put his epic song..
