1/ I AM sTooOOoOkkeed about this latest LIGO result!
Today’s #PhysicsFriday , I am going to talk about the result, how it connects with detectors and some rad accounts to follow & learn more about this awesome science.
🚀Strap in! We are gonna talk about GIANT black holesss

2/ First off, we are on earth & the detectors measured these signals are LIGO-Hanford in Washington, LIGO-Livingston in Louisiana & VIRGO in Italy. These are the names on the main plots. The strength of how it hits each detector us figure out where in the universe it came from
3/ Figure 1 from the paper has these *AMAZING* plots. See how strong, clean & amazing the signal gives me goose bumps. It’s beautiful.
Let me walk you through trying to understand how this connects with the astrophysics & the detectors themselves.
