So, gravitational waves...

According to General Relativity, the presence of mass curves spacetime which manifests as gravitational forces.

Moving masses curve spacetime similarly to dragging a finger on a surface of water, where you can actually see the ripples propagate.

You can probably google for better explanations if you want more in-depth.

Michio Kaku has appeared on CBS to comment on this discovery (adblocker unsupported). I find him to be the least annoying of the celebrity scientist ilk.

Agreed he's smart and interesting without the trouble. I do like Neil deGrasse Tyson though and I know it won't happen but I wish they'd do another year of COSMOS.

[Ack]

What's wrong with Bill Nye?

He said celebrity scientists, not science guys.

The man spent many years as an engineer at Boeing. I will not tolerate any hating on Bill Nye.

[Exhuminator]

Nah just jokes, I like Bill Nye.

Not too long ago he came down to Tallahassee and shouted CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE CHANGE CLIMATE CHANGE off the steps of the capital building. I saw him do it. It was hilarious.

Bill Nye is my fucking spirit animal. I adore that man.

Why do you have a spirit animal solely for sex?
