He basically deserves at leas 3 Nobel Prizes for his big discoveries. See talent here-->http://bit.ly/2eqeUxK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy to get an explanation about how it's going to help us now and what we can discover now Hmm but we have no? laser tag.. it's not real? so HIMYM lied to me all this time? Basically what this discovery is saying, is that big objects moving in space, like black holes, can creates waves in space (space-time is bendable with enough energy). Sow now they will be able to create telescopes that detect gravity waves instead of electromagnetic waves (like the ones for TV/Radio/Internet), and we will be able to study new mysterious things. This might lead to discoveries of unknown things including possibly very advanced alien civilizations that might be able to create gravity waves on their own.

Amazing, it also proves by that than the space and time can be distorted, and the time inst linear...wow, just wow Yes! I am a physics major. And what I can tell you is that the faster you move, the slower time becomes for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn't mean that we can actually travel in space and "drive" through the light speed.. like you know, in movies and stuff..

(damn it makes me look dumb lol) Actually, since is now confirmed that there are space gravity waves, someone might be able to come up with a space ship that can ride them or even bend space itself.

But will it still be slow? because we can't really "drive" with the speed of light.. we will become energy or hmm nothing..
