Great talk, very detail and informative. Any chance you have the video of Rai Weiss's talk that Barry mentioned in the video, the day before this. Thank you.
Nice quote from Newton considering he had a reputation for being something of an egomaniac regarding his own indisputable brilliance. It might even be said that Newton unintentionally founded the naturalistic sciences which ultimately dragged us out of the age of superstition and magical answers for things we didn't understand.
'shoulders of giants' is Newton's venom rather than his modesty. Hooke was short and ill formed. Newton was saying he learned from giants and not from dwarves like Hooke.
Barish is clearly more sane than Kip Thorne. But he's still not honest about the 1919 eclipse observations. The two "poor" photos recorded by Dyson and Eddington at Principe were very close to the Einsteinian prediction. But the 18 "poor" observations made by the team in Sobral, Brazil, were almost spot-on the _Newtonian_ predictions. The 8 "good" photos from Sobral indicated a deflection of approximately 1.96 - closer to, but higher than, the Einsteinian prediction of 1.71 degrees of deflection. Had Eddington and Dyson had one more cloudy day in Principe, the scientists would have had to choose between a large number of images that accorded with Newton, and about half that number that were _higher_ than Einsteins predictions. So the results - that the observations agreed with Einstein more than they did with Newton - are not quite as clear-cut as he suggests. . . . .
People like Hooke and Newton didn't keep copies of letters they sent and it's possible (especially in those days) that the letter might never have been delivered. Although they may have detested each other, I doubt they lied. I'd give Hooke the benefit though not the credit as Newton published...just saying
Wonderful talk. Explained simply enough that almost anyone can understand.
You mean you finally grasped it? lol
nothing is as exciting as learning about this stuff. I wish I were competent.
particularly if you are Felix Baumgartner
Excellent! Thanks for sharing.

Where is the lecture he discusses that was given about interferometry?
great video
hats off to Joseph Weber, pioneer in the faith for detecting gravitational waves

love,love,love.Awesome.

Hello, Principia is pronounced "prinkipia" and not "prinsipia". Thank you for the talk, thank you for uploading and have a good day.
5:15 , the scoffs from the audience when he mispronounced it yet again.
collapsing wave?
