grobiSonification of Every Gravitational Wave
Experience the cosmic symphony of gravitational waves!
This is a sonification of the first 90 confirmed gravitational wave detections, each the result of merging black holes and/or neutron stars. The extracted waveforms are synthesized and played as audio in the actual sequence they were discovered.
In the final seconds of each merger the black holes and neutron stars orbit each other faster and faster, reaching frequencies of 10s or 100s of times per second. These frequencies are within the human hearing range so we can listen to each merger unfold in real time. The increasing frequency of their spiralling dance creates a characteristic 'chirp' sound, marking the moment they finally merge. The time between each merger is compressed to let you experience the rhythm and variety of these remarkable cosmic collisions.
The first gravitational wave was detected in 2015 using 4km long laser interferometers called LIGO. The black hole merger that created this wave happened over a billion light years away, and hence over a billion year ago. Over the course of 3 observing runs, 89 more gravitational waves were detected, and at an increasing rate as the sensitivity of the detectors was improved. The 4th observing run started on May 24 2023 and holds the promise of even more astounding discoveries.
The black holes and neutron stars involved in these mergers are each 10s of kilometers across and orbit each other at a sizeable fraction of the speed of light. In the final few milliseconds the merger releases energy at a greater rate than all of the stars in the observable universe combined. This energy radiates as gravitational waves, carrying the signature of this cataclysmic event across the universe.

Explanation:
What is the sound of two black holes merging in deep space? Sound waves don't propagate in vacuum, but gravitational waves do. In 2015 we were able to "hear" them for the first time and confirm one of Albert Einstein's theoretical predictions. Each square on the grid of the featured image represents one of the gravitational wave detections announced so far by the LIGO-VIRGO-KAGRA Collaboration. These plots show how the binary pair accelerates in their orbit around each other towards merger: the rising frequency effect is called a "chirp". Although there are significantly more neutron stars than black holes, most of the detections are binary black hole mergers. That happens because black holes are heavier and their signals are louder and can be seen farther away, resulting in more detections. These events are rare, and we don't expect to see one close by in our Galaxy any time soon. But they are happening continuously throughout the cosmos.

Oscar CunninghamCan someone help me fix the Wikipedia page on the black hole information paradox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_information_paradox)? It says
> the black hole radiates mass at a rate given by dM/dt = -aT⁴ where a is constant related to fundamental constants, including the Stefan–Boltzmann constant and certain properties of the black hole spacetime called its greybody factors.
The next paragraph says that M is inversely proportional to T and that the black hole evaporates in time proportional to M³. But this isn't consistent because solving dM/dt = -a/M⁴ gives an evaporation time proportional to M⁵.
I think it's the first formula that's wrong and it should be dM/dt = -aT². But I don't know quite enough to feel confident making an edit. Is there someone out there who knows what the fix should be?
Jonathan EmmesediIVE -- BLACKHOLE -- FAN CONCERT 260321
https://youtu.be/IlbD6zCGyhA?si=mSd-Y_Z-iDqIEYsE
Watching this stage made me think more largely about both "Blackhole" .
Let me begin by saying how much I like the song. Like many others, I'm taken by its epic sound, and the time signature switching engages my interest, as does the use of momentary silence. Without a doubt, this is the title track of theirs I like the best since "I AM".
On the other hand, this stage confirms in my mind a comment I made about the original release: the epic sound needs an epic stage, which most music shows and concerts cannot offer. The fan concert in this video cannot provide the sets this song demands. My hope is that IVE perform "Blackhole" at one of the end of the year shows with some over the top staging of a suitably magnificent scale and style.
In the post I made about the original MV, I noted that I did not like all of the outfits. I don't think these outfits are quite right either; the naval uniform was appropriate for the performance of "Genie" that they gave earlier in the show, but doesn't complement "Blackhole" in the same way.
I'll finish on a more positive note. IVE swapped the court shoes -- pumps, in American English -- they wore when performing "Genie" for the boots we see in the linked video. I gladly note that both the boots and the court shoes have heels.
Although I think idols can look so very elegant dancing in heels, I am not a fetishist; in fact, I'm happy to see not just stiletto boots but ballet flats too, Mary Janes or jazz shoes -- anything , in fact, that will give us a break from the ugly overgrown foot look that comes with so many wedges, platforms, and stomper boots. So I'll take this stage as a footwear win if nothing else!
