Gravitational waves

This podcast shines light on the application of physics. Which are helping us in this pandemic. There are plenty of physics applications, in medical field. We hope, this podcast inspires you ! 

This podcast gives brief description of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is full of bizarre experiences. It is very confusing, at first. But, once you observe closely, you can understand it better. Afterall, it is the basic stuff, for all those activities we do in our everyda ... Show More

This podcast will give you an brief idea on speed of light. It's been fascinating since the time of Galileo. Even though we have understood it, still there are unsolved problems. 

Science correspondent Nell Greenfieldboyce gives us the latest in gravitational waves and shares what scientists have learned (and heard) from these tiny ripples in spacetime. Email the show at shortwave@npr.org Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoic ... Show More

In recent weeks the astrophysics community has been buzzing following the discovery that the universe appears to be filled with a background hum of gravitational waves. Using radio telescopes in the Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and the US, several teams have noted the same thi ... Show More

Einstein’s description of curved space-time doesn’t easily mesh with a universe made up of quantum wavefunctions. Theoretical physicist Sean Carroll discusses the quest for quantum gravity with host Steven Strogatz. The post Where Do Space, Time and Gravity Come From? first appea ... Show More

Dans le cadre de sa théorie de la relativité générale, Einstein avait prédit, dès 1916, l'existence des ondes gravitationnelles. Mais il a fallu attendre 2015 pour que ces oscillations de l'espace-temps soient détectées par des appareils spécifiques. Qu'est-ce que les ondes gravi ... Show More

New gravitational waves, why orcas might be attacking boats and a new robot prototype inspired by animals: it's all in our latest roundup of science news, with All Things Considered host Ari Shapiro, Regina G. Barber and Geoff Brumfiel. Have questions about science in the news? E ... Show More
