OK, I HAVE TO share.

Pulsars in the Milky Way as a large-scale observatory for the gravitational wave background!!! 🌌

*excitedly chirps*

✨️What are gravitational waves?✨️

Gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light & cause a periodic stretching & squeezing of the narrow web of space & time - they occur when galaxies merge & black holes orbit each other!

This means that if a gravitational wave passed between us & say two merging black holes, the actual amount of space between the two objects will change. The merging black holes will be closer to or farther away from us as the gravitational wave passes through without either the black holes or Earth having moved at all!

And here's the big deal: The flashes of light from a pulsar at a certain distance from Earth will always hit Earth at the same intervals, because it will always take the light the same amount of time to travel from there to here.

But if there’s suddenly more space between the pulsar & Earth, it will take the light longer to travel from there to here & therefore the clock-like timing will be thrown off!

Gravitational wave detectors on Earth have been developed to measure the effects of short waves that occur when two stellar-mass black holes orbit close together & eventually merge.

Long gravitational waves from the active early universe can't be measured directly from Earth since we are simply not able to build a wave detector that big, but gravitational waves do change the clock frequency of pulsar stars!

✨️What are pulsars?✨️

Pulsars are stellar remnants (dead stars) that emit radio waves in two opposite directions while rotating around an axis. If the cone of radio beams passes over the Earth, the pulsar can be measured by its periodic radio pulses.

Pulsars can help to spot gravitational waves from black holes that are supermassive, millions to billions times larger than our sun.

In comparison, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) network can only detect gravitational waves originating from smaller black holes that are up to 10 times as massive as the sun.

✨️The Gravitational Wave Background not to be confused with the Cosmic Microwave Background✨️

The gravitational wave background is theorised as a faint but persistent echo of gravitational waves to have been set off by events that took place shortly after the Big Bang & the merging of supermassive black holes throughout the universe.

Signals of these gravitational waves that make up that background have been hard to detect due to being faint, in addition to vibrating at decade-long timescales, but using those dead stars to measure these long gravitational waves might do the trick!

And GUESS WHAT HAPPENED? 🌟

They found something!

✨️A hum.✨️

In a globally coordinated announcement on June 28, different teams of scientists reported the discovery of a "low pitch hum" of these cosmic ripples flowing through the Milky Way!

Hints of the same signal were announced in a series of papers published by scientists in China, India, Europe and Australia. They say the signals may be coming from merging supermassive black holes that are caught in cosmic dances, circling each other in orbits that shrink across millions of years. During this process, they release energy in the form of gravitational waves that reverberate throughout the universe, waves that they claim to now have detected.

Of course, there is to consider that dust, gas & interstellar medium can also cause the timing of the pulses of a pulsar to deviate, but the new research claim, the "critical evidence" that betrays the source of the signals to be supermassive black holes is a unique pattern found in the arrival times of pulses from a galaxy-sized cosmic antenna of nearly 70 millisecond pulsars in the Milky Way by using 15 years of data.

Gravitational wave signals from black hole binaries overlap "like voices in a crowd" & result in an incessant hum that embeds as a unique pattern in the pulsar timing data, scientists say.

The detection of the gravitational wave background is going to open up an entirety of new studies for scientists to probe the biggest mysteries in our universe, from neutron stars to galaxy formation. It may even allow to probe new physics & fill in some of the gaps in the Standard Model.

And it turns out, the universe is loud. Not only is the background there, it’s stronger than anyone anticipated.

There are a few potential reasons for that excessive 'volume.' For one, there could just be many more merging black holes than we thought there were. For another, String Theory suggests that there might be deformations in spacetime called "cosmic strings" producing the waves.

If you believe in the Big Bounce instead of the Big Bang, the waves could be coming from that as well. And there’s always the chance that pulsars just aren’t quite as perfect as we thought.

And I, as you may know, ABSOLUTELY ADORE

✨️String Theory ✨️

Hello, Tordle....

How was the kiss with edd...?😏

It was good uh.. Well, it's kind of surreal to think I'm dating Edd now...

I really really like him...

Hmm, hey tordle fam Are these really the ONLY refs to Donnie and Leo's bedrooms? Apparently they were never shown in the show. Weird. If anyone has any other refs to Donnie and leo's rooms I would be ever so grateful <333
