If everyone spent their time thinking about how black holes collide and send out bunches of energy as ripples in the fabric of spacetime that can change the shape of things in their way just enough that one billion light years away four kilometres of metal on Earth could get stretched by one thousandth the width of a proton, which means a packet of light (that is also a wave) traveling along that piece of metal takes just a little longer to get back to where it started and collides with another wave that was not expecting it to take that much longer and therefore produces a signal on a photographic plate that HUMANS CAN SEE
we’d have a lot less time for bigotry and war and other ways of being mean.
Also a bunch of LIGo data is publicly accessible at http://havewedetectedgravitationalwavesyet.com. Yes yes that is the official website name.
Good day for science!!
