Discovering Gravitational Waves: Brian Greene and Gabriela González

Published 2020-09-08
Brian Greene engages physicist and former LIGO spokesperson Gabriela González in a conversation about LIGO and Virgo's new announcement of the most massive gravitational wave source to date and discusses what we've learned about the cosmos.

This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.

Live Sessions are conversations hosted by Brian Greene with world-renowned scientists, including World Science U faculty exploring matter, mind, and the cosmos.

  • Please, Dr. Greene, keep working to include people such as myself in the conversation. I am a 74 woman with no formal education in physics. I so want to learn the basics of physics. You bring things to life for people lik me. We need to hear more from you. So many in the scientific community are brilliant but are not smart enough to know I exitt. Even worse, there are so many young people with potential who are left out. I was glad I was able to find you today.

    Thank you so much for your time and educational generosity.

    Wow, Brian, always such a pleasure to hear your unique perspective (your genius). Thank you Gabriela for your service to humanity through LIGO 🙏
  • Brian and Gabriela, this was a wonderful conversation. Thank you so much for refreshing us on what we already know, but also some things we didn't know ! Thank you.

    2:45:45 i do the same but when i am being asked a important question then i think 5 times before i answer and choose the line is best suited for the asked question, it really helps out when arguement before even started, being open minded is great.

    Thank you professor!. I am a big fan of yours and love what you do for science.

    Hey Brian, as a new fan of yours I just watched your podcast with Joe Rogan -Hope your back is feeling better. I have to say, my desire to understand some of the fundamentals of Physics has always felt blocked by my lack of formal math training, and I cannot begin to say just how much I appreciate how accessible you have made the subject for me, or how much more empowered and confident I feel about my understanding of many important principles. It genuinely feels like a joy to feel as if I have a better intuition for some very counter intuitive ideas, and not being able to do the Lorentz Transformations has not in itself stopped me from gaining a better grasp of the magic science can show us.

    Thank you Dr Greene for producing so much free content, always a pleasure to learn so much. I love Brahms too by the way haha!
  • @karn5019
    I'd like to echo all of the positive comments and add that you have the patience of a saint
  • @cosmotalk7227
    His Lecture was very nice, just my question were:- Q1. What is meant by Hartle-Hawking theory? Q.2. Why is Riemann Geometry important for Einstein's field equations? Please answer the above given questions Proff. Brian Greene.

    November 3 came, so what has changed? Gabi was a breath of frésh air, open (the app) and hardworking. Looking forward to future developments.

    Professor your window has a great view. That tree is beautiful.
  • Professor Cumfun Vafa, in his lecture on String theory, said that forces can be represented by both particle interactions and geometry. So why are we even concerned about curved spacetime? Can't we describe gravity without spacetime?
