For the first time ever, scientists here on Earth have proof of the gravitational waves produced from two black holes colliding in the form of a detectable chirp. This not only confirms much of Einstein’s theory in this area, but opens the door to many more amazing postulates that no doubt can be proven later. But this proof, this amazing “chirp” that has everyone so excited, what does it sound like? Well, listen below as we eavesdrop on the universe itself:
This sound could go down in history as a defining sound for mankind, much as the request for Watson from Alexander Graham Bell as they invented the telephone or the relayed broadcasts from Sputnik as it went into outer space.
For the curious, PhD has created a great tutorial on gravitational waves below. It’s a very entertaining and educational video to watch.
