and I looked also here. I understand soft tissue moving differently than bone, but the whole timeshift thing I definitely don't understand: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/338912/how-would-a-passing-gravitational-wave-look-or-feel
Is there a short-er answer to, will we feel it and how will we feel it?
Well that’s going to suck.
Considering it’s minimally 800 years from happening, no, I don’t think any of us will feel it.
Two black holes that are 1,600 Light years away from each other are so far apart from one another that when they do collide, if ever, no one will be around to give a 5hit.
Watch me care! Here goes...
Bronco Bama and Big Mike not getting along?
Not only will we not feel it, but the technology to even detect these gravitational waves is barely within our ability. The actual gravitational wave distortion from this distance will be less than the size of a single proton.
So, didn’t that collision already happen about 89 million years ago?
They are 89 million light years away from us. Any gravitational waves we might feel will be 89 million years in the future.
Cant read the article because it’s partly covered up by an ad. Anyone else having that problem?
Just because the holes are black doesn’t mean anything bad will happen, sheesh!
Get ovah uz white privrage!!
89 million light-years away in another galaxy? The title is misleading.
No worries, the Ohmicron variant will kill us all long before the black holes will.
Named L-a [the dash don’t be silent] and Shawkneekwa, a cloud of hair extensions and fake fingernails is expected to result when the 2 tangle.
If you keep getting all the jabs they want for you, you won’t feel a thing...
I hope they have insurance.
Since we are seeing the state of things 89 million years ago, that "verge" is long in the distant past.
Gravity strains your body. When you stand up, your body is shorter than when you are lying down. Strain is measured in how many inches you shrink compared with how many inches tall you are. In most things the shrinkage is quite small, so strain is often measured in micro-inches per inch of length.
A micro inch is a millionth of an inch. The smallest measurable strain using conventional techniques is about one micro-inch per inch. That's one inch per million inches, or one inch in 17 miles. That, in itself is something you would never feel. If you were 70 inches tall and shrank that amount, you would shrink about 0.0001 - a tenth of a thousandth of an inch. That's less than one tenth the thickness of a human hair.
Gravity waves are many orders of magnitude smaller than that. One analogy places the gravity wave sensitivity detectors as sensitive to stretching the distance from the earth to the sun by an amount equal to the diameter of a hydrogen atom. You won't feel that!
No, we won’t feel it. We will have died move that 1,500 years before it happens.
Typical stupid reporting...
These black holes WERE that close 89 million years ago...
Who knows what their situation is now...
Maybe they should point their scopes towards Chicago if they want to observe “current” black hole events...
