🌌🔊 Eh, Bruddah, You Hear Dat? Da Cosmos Jamming Wit Gravitational Waves!
⬇️ Pidgin | ⬇️ ⬇️ English
On one past Wednesday night, research kine collaborations from all ova da world wen go tell us, dey get some mean kine evidence fo one low-pitch hum of gravitational waves jamming across da universe. Was one big time kanikapila 🎼🌠 dat went reverberate from all kine supermassive black holes. Dey wen make dis noise way, way back wen universe was still small kid time.
Da scientists all say, “Ho, da kine gravitational waves probably da echo from plenny pairs of da supermassive black holes.” Get choke of dem, thousands kine, each one bigga den billion suns, sitting at da heart of da ancient galaxies way, way far away. Dey all slowly join together, making da ripples in da space-time, kinda like one big ocean 🌊🕰️.
Da guys ova at NANOGrav, one science gang from Oregon State University, say all these black hole pairs kine making different notes. Dey call um da sum of all signals.
This whole ting was one long time coming, more den 15 years afta NANOGrav started collecting data. So far, all da results stay consistent wit Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Dis talks about how matta and energy warp space-time to create what we call gravity. As we get more data, dis cosmic hum going help researchers understand more about how da universe wen get its current structure and maybe even reveal some kine strange matta dat may have been around right afta da Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago.
On da next day, NANOGrav gang wen go do one public news briefing to officially announce their results. Dey say dis big kine discovery make da universe look all different now. No mo static, but rolling, noisy, alive wit da cosmic symphony of gravitational waves. Kinda like da universe stay playing one big ukulele 🌍🎶.
Da gravitational waves created by any kine spinning object. For example, da rotating remnants of stellar corpses, orbiting black holes or even two people doing da hula 🌺💃. But these waves not like da regular waves, dey stretch and squeeze da very fabric of space-time, changing da distances between any celestial objects they pass by.
This discovery of gravitational waves first announced in 2016 by da LIGO gang. Dey wen solidify Einstein’s theory of general relativity as one accurate model of da universe and scored da Nobel Prize in Physics in 2017. But, LIGO’s signals mostly in da frequency range of few hundred hertz, and were created by individual pairs of black holes or neutron stars. Dey were 10 to 100 times as massive as our sun ☀️🌙.
Da guys in dis work, on da other hand, was looking for one collective hum at much lower frequencies — one-billionth of one hertz, way below da audible range — coming from every place all at once.
At da lowest frequencies, dat hum so loud “dat it could be coming from hundreds of thousands, or maybe even one million, overlapping signals from da cosmic merger history of supermassive black hole binaries.”
If dis signal really come from orbiting pairs of supermassive black holes, then studying da gravitational-wave background going shed light on da evolutionary history of these systems and da galaxies surrounding them. But da gravitational-wave background could also be coming from something else, like hypothetical cracks in space-time called cosmic strings.
Or it could be one relic of da Big Bang, like da cosmic microwave background. Dis wen lead to fundamental discoveries about da structure of da universe way back to within 400,000 years of its beginning. The gravitational-wave background would be an even better probe, because it would have been emitted almost instantly.
The NANOGrav team already working on analyzing all da data from gravitational-wave collaborations around da world, totalling about 25 years’ worth of measurements from 115 pulsars. These results going be unveiled in one year or so, and expected to exceed the 5-sigma discovery level.
But a few more years might be needed to confirm the source of da gravitational-wave background. The researchers already started using their data to put together maps of da universe and to look for intense, nearby regions of gravitational-wave signals that might indicate one individual supermassive black hole binary. Dats where da real fun starts 🎢🌌.
“Dis could lead to something really groundbreaking,” one scientist say, comparing it to da discovery of da Higgs boson. We no can wait to see what else these ripples in da cosmic sea going reveal to us about da secrets of da universe. Until then, we keep on listening to da universe’s music, and stay tuned for more updates. Aloha, bruddahs and sistahs! 🤙🌺🏄♂️.

“Hey, Bruddah, did you hear that? The Cosmos is jamming with gravitational waves! 🌌🔊
On a past Wednesday night, research collaborations from all over the world went to tell us that they have some significant evidence for a low-pitch hum of gravitational waves jamming across the universe. It was a massive cosmic jam session 🎼🌠 reverberating from supermassive black holes of all kinds. These black holes, each bigger than a billion suns, reside at the hearts of ancient galaxies far, far away. Slowly, they come together, creating ripples in space-time, like a vast ocean 🌊🕰️.
The folks over at NANOGrav, a scientific group from Oregon State University, say that each pair of black holes produces a different note. They call it the sum of all signals.
This entire event has been a long time coming, more than 15 years after NANOGrav began collecting data. So far, all the results align with Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which explains how matter and energy warp space-time to create gravity. With more data, this cosmic hum will help researchers understand how the universe obtained its current structure and perhaps unveil some strange matter that may have existed just after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago.
The next day, the NANOGrav team held a public news briefing to officially announce their results. They stated that this groundbreaking discovery has changed the way we perceive the universe. It’s no longer static but alive, rolling, and filled with the cosmic symphony of gravitational waves. It’s like the universe is playing a massive ukulele 🌍🎶.
Gravitational waves can be created by any spinning object, such as rotating remnants of dead stars, orbiting black holes, or even two people doing the hula 🌺💃. However, these waves are different from regular waves. They stretch and squeeze the fabric of space-time, altering the distances between celestial objects they encounter.
The discovery of gravitational waves was first announced in 2016 by the LIGO team, which confirmed Einstein’s theory of general relativity and received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2017. However, LIGO’s signals mostly fell within the frequency range of a few hundred hertz and were produced by individual pairs of black holes or neutron stars that were 10 to 100 times more massive than our sun ☀️🌙.
On the other hand, the researchers in this study were searching for a collective hum at much lower frequencies—approximately one-billionth of one hertz, below the audible range—emerging from all directions simultaneously.
At these incredibly low frequencies, the hum is so intense “that it could originate from hundreds of thousands, or maybe even one million, overlapping signals from the cosmic merger history of supermassive black hole binaries.”
If this signal indeed arises from orbiting pairs of supermassive black holes, studying the gravitational-wave background could provide insights into the evolutionary history of these systems and the surrounding galaxies. However, the gravitational-wave background might also be a result of other phenomena, like hypothetical cracks in space-time known as cosmic strings.
Alternatively, it could be a relic of the Big Bang, similar to the cosmic microwave background, which has already yielded fundamental discoveries about the structure of the universe within 400,000 years of its inception. The gravitational-wave background would be an even more valuable tool as it would have been emitted almost instantaneously.
The NANOGrav team is already working on analyzing data from gravitational-wave collaborations worldwide, encompassing approximately 25 years of measurements from 115 pulsars. These results will be unveiled in about a year and are expected to surpass the 5-sigma discovery level.
However, it might take a few more years to confirm the source of the gravitational-wave background. The researchers have already begun utilizing their data to create maps of the universe and search for intense gravitational-wave signals in nearby regions, which could indicate individual supermassive black hole binaries. That’s when the real excitement begins 🎢🌌.
“This could lead to something truly groundbreaking,” says one scientist, likening it to the discovery of the Higgs boson. We can’t wait to see what else these ripples in the cosmic sea will reveal about the secrets of the universe. Until then, we’ll continue listening to the universe’s music and stay tuned for more updates. Aloha, bruddahs and sistahs! 🤙🌺🏄♂️”
