The Spacetime Symphony of Gravitational Waves | Kelly Holley-Bockelmann | TEDxNashville
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Science is on the verge of observing the ripples in spacetime caused by moving black holes; these gravitational waves will open a new window to the universe of things we can't see with light - things that could unlock some of the deepest mysteries about the universe. Kelly Holley‐Bockelmann is an Associate Professor of Astronomy at Vanderbilt University, where she joined the faculty in 2007. She received her B.S. in Physics at Montana State University and her PhD in Astronomy in 1999 at the University of Michigan. After her PhD, she did postdoctoral work at Case Western Reserve University and the University of Massachusetts. In 2004, she joined the Center for Gravitational Wave Physics at The Pennsylvania State University. She is a recipient of a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation , is a Vanderbilt Chancellor Faculty Fellow, and her work has also been supported by NASA. Dr. Holley Bockelmann’s research on growing supermassive black holes and rogue black holes have been featured in many online and print media outlets, though she still gets a bit nervous talking to the press. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

Absence of evidence that the speed of gravitational waves is the same with the speed of light 'c'. But if they take into account that the speed of gravitational waves is the same with the speed of light 'c', LIGO as an observer is at Earth, the speed of light slowing down by layer of Earth's atmosphere, it should be less than speed of light 'c'

didnt they just show that this data was corrupted and the wave was a false reading???
-
very poetic ending. 'applauding*
-
I got to meet her at this event!!! She is amazing!!!
-
I was fortunate enough to be at this talk. She made us laugh; she made us dance; she made us cry. Best TED talk I've seen.

A propos spacetime fabric: Isaiah 40:22: Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. "

BRAVO!! Beautifully explain. Thank you.
-
I loved it !
-
I loved it !

This is such b.s. There's no way prove that what is claimed actually happened. Just like the Halon Collider these "scientists" are trying to justify wasting billions of dollars on a fucking theory. Piss up a rope.
-
this woman is adorable
-
I love a geeky girl.
-
I finished the tune. If you want a listen search on soundcloud for the sound of gravity by Benomaly, you won't like it:) Thanks again.
-
What a brilliant talk! So inspiring! (And she's super cute!!) ;)
-
Only one dimension of time? Are you sure?
-
I detected a Supermassive crush, she's a smart, cute and snappy dresser!! Dang someone give her guy a high five for finding a gravitational wave equivalent in a woman....👍🏻☺️
-
she's hot!! 😍😍😍
