#RainerWeiss #BlackHoles #NobelPrize MIT Physics Professor Emeritus Rainer Weiss won a 1/2 share of The Nobel Prize in Physics 2017 tor his “contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves”. Talking to Rai was a highlight of my career. He is as genuine as they come and pulls no punches! He was born in Berlin, where his father was a doctor and psychoanalyst and his mother an actress. His father was of Jewish descent, and the family fled Nazism to the United States. After schooling in New York, Weiss studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he received his doctor’s degree in 1962. After a couple of years at Tufts University and Princeton University, he returned to MIT, which he has been associated with ever since. Rainer Weiss is married and has a daughter and a son. Professor Weiss's Nobel winning work come out of one consequence of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, the existence of gravitational waves. These are like ripples in a four-dimensional spacetime that occur when massive objects accelerate. To call the effects very small is an understatement of cosmic proportions! Beginning in the 1970s, the LIGO detector was developed. LIGO’s laser technology measures minute changes in the curvature of spacetime caused by gravitational waves. In September 2015, gravitational waves were directly detected by LIGO for the first time in human history.

Neutrinos are ghosts. They’re low mass particles that can travel extremely large distances without interference. Because of this, neutrinos act as fossil “messengers,” containing information about their powerful astrophysical sources. Most neutrinos detected by IceCube originate from the sun or Earth’s atmosphere. But there exist highly energetic astrophysical neutrinos that originate from the farthest reaches of outer space. In 2013, the first evidence of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos originating from cosmic accelerators was seen by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, which houses a cubic-kilometer-sized neutrino telescope buried deep within the Antarctic ice. These cosmic messengers provide insight into their sources, which are some of the most powerful cosmic objects in the universe. Since these neutrinos have to travel billions of light-years in vacuum, they can also act as barometers of quantum gravity—the unification of gravity, forces, and space-time. Recently, the IceCube Collaboration presents the results of its search for the effect of quantum gravity on the flavors of astrophysical neutrinos. Although no evidence was found for quantum gravity effects, the result presented is the first to reach the expected signal region of quantum gravity using neutrino flavor interferometry. This study was published in October 2023 as a letter in the journal Nature Physics. Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmXH_moPhfkqCk6S3b9RWuw/join ?
