What has been especially impressive about the study of gravitational waves is how it has progressed so quickly.

I'll say! From the first detection of gravitational waves generated by a single merger of a couple of black holes three years ago to "looking up" and being able to "see" thousands of mergers going on at once. That's comparable to looking up and seeing a single star one minute and looking up a few seconds later and being able to see thousands... What will we learn?

That’s racist as John Wiley Price once stated about black holes. He really did, he is that dumb.

They need to put a stop to these black hole mergers. Pretty soon we’re going to have a black hole that’s too big to fail.

‘Time is elastic’: an extract from Carlo Rovelli’s The Order of Time

What does it really mean to say that time ‘passes’? Why does time pass faster in the mountains than it does at sea level? The physicist explains in this extract from his latest book
