Topic	Black hole devouring a neutron star caused ripples in space and time, scientists
solosnake 08/25/19 4:15:30 PM #26:	Anyway, not sure how many of you guys know how LIGO works, but its pretty interesting. The put out these lasers that go in a straight line and bounce off a mirror and travel back like several kilometers. Then they take a supercomputer and simulate stuff like a neutron star getting swallowed by a black hole and compare the data to how much the laser moves (less than 100th a width of your hair usually, over several miles) When the data matches the movement of the laser, they claim to have "discovered a black hole" or whatever else. It is really fascinating to me. --- "We would have no NBA possibly if they got rid of all the flopping." ~ Dwyane Wade https://imgur.com/MYYEIx5 https://imgur.com/WGE12ef <cite>solosnake posted [p:926534418] in Black hole...
