The Edge of Physics Blog. News from the Frontiers of Cosmology: A companion to the book The Edge of Physics. Want to go underground to build a sensitive observatory capable of detecting gravitational waves that are thought be generated when black holes merge. The “Einstein Observatory” will 100 times more sensitive than existing detectors, and will likely be able to detect gravitational waves generated just after the Big Bang. Already, the next generation of detectors, such as Advanced LIGO. If such an i...

Indlæg om naturvidenskabelig forskning. Åh, der er ikke noget så godt som en god Lomborg artikel. At starte dagen på, her ovenpå ferien. Det er godt at få gang i blodomløbet, og få grinet lidt over at denne mand stadig har taletid i den danske presse, og stadig kan få hvad jeg regner som nogenlunde intelligente mennesker til at hoppe med på den. Det kan i hvert fald få mig til at slukke for fjæsbogen i et par timer, hvilket jo nok er meget godt for min produktivitet. Jeg har før skrevet indlæg. Det er ri...

Faith in Science Science in Faith. This chapter was copied with permission from Nick Strobel’s. Go to his site at www.astronomynotes.com. For the updated and corrected version. I discuss Einstein’s Special Relativity and General Relativity theories. The concepts of spacetime and gravity as a warping of spacetime are introduced along with observational proofs of his theories. This revolutionary leap in our understanding of gravity and the nature of space and time was made by. By any two observers regardle...

Fly, little data, and be free! LIGO observatory near Hanford, WA. In August 2014 the gravitational-wave community celebrated an important milestone when the LIGO Open Science Center. LOSC), which I've been privileged to help build, released two years of LIGO data. As stated eloquently in the Panton principles. Nevertheless, the data from LIGO. Arguably one of the most high-profile endeavors. An experiment, rather than an observatory. Operating LIGO as an observatory. That serves data to an external commu...

Living LIGO: First Software Engineering Run for Advanced LIGO
http://stuver.blogspot.com/2012/01/first-software-engineering-run-for.html
Thursday, January 19, 2012. First Software Engineering Run for Advanced LIGO. Most of the visible work on Advanced LIGO. Has been revolving around the installation of new instruments that are needed to increase the sensitivity of LIGO about 10 fold. While this is exciting, it can feel a little like being on the outside looking in for data analysts like myself. But there is still much to prepare for! But what is a channel? This is a close look at the computers in the racks (as we call the large rectangula...

Shouting into the void since 2012. On persevering in the face of failure. Asymp; 3 Comments. This is kinda a big deal, everyone. I got paid to write at From Quarks to Quasars, a popular science news site. My first post went up yesterday. Scientists at Rothamstead Research, an agricultural research group in the UK, have published the results of their years-long study on genetic modification of wheat plants, despite setbacks from anti-GMO protesters. To those naysayers who want us to quit now, you don̵...

Cleaning Up LIGO Data. Nearly a century ago, Einstein predicted gravitational waves. Ripples in space and time that travel at the speed of light, as part of his general theory of relativity. The energy carried by these waves was shown by Hulse and Taylor to be responsible for the inspiral of binary neutron stars, such as PSR B1913 16. Gravitational waves from violent astrophysical systems, such as colliding black holes. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory ( LIGO. Such as supernovae re...
