Feeling Spacetime SHAKE when Black Holes Collide! Nobel Rai Weiss Gravitational Waves with LIGO
#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.

How can you unlock creativity and imagination to inspire, teach and lead? What mental models do the world’s most accomplished scientists use to supercharge their creativity, and strengthen their most precious collaborations?
In this mesmerizing collection of interviews with some of the world’s brightest minds, you’ll discover that achieving greatness doesn’t require genius. Instead, dedication to a simple set of principles—habits and tools -- can boost your creativity, stoke your imagination, and unlock your full potential for out-of-this-universe success.
Through their own words you will discover why Nobel Prize winning scientists credit the often overlooked “soft skills” such as communication, motivation, and introspection as keys to their success. You’ll see why they turn to curiosity, beauty, serendipity, and joy when they need to turn fresh eyes on some of the universe’s most vexing problems...and how you can too no matter what you do!
Within the pages of Into the Impossible: Think Like a Nobel Prize Winner, the wisdom of nine Nobel Laureates has been distilled and compressed into concentrated, actionable data you can use. While each mind is unique, they are united in their emphasis that no one wins alone—and that science, and success itself, belongs to us all.
Lessons from Laureates to Stoke Curiosity, Spur Collaboration, and Ignite Imagination in Your Life and Career.... Get your copy here: https://amzn.to/3017JXl

Join my mailing list https://briankeating.com/list to win a real 4 billion year old meteorite! All .edu emails in the USA ?? will WIN!
Welcome everyone to a fascinating deep dive with the late Daniel Dennett!
In our interview, we tackled fascinating problems like free will, human consciousness, ethics, and the philosophy of science. He also explained why he’s sounding the alarm on AI!
Shortly after our interview, Daniel sadly passed away at the age of 82. He was a renowned philosopher, thought-provoking writer, brilliant cognitive scientist, and vocal atheist. He was the co-director of the Center for Cognitive Studies, the Austin B. Fletcher Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University in Massachusetts, a member of the editorial board for The Rutherford Journal, and a co-founder of The Clergy Project.
Known as one of the "Four Horsemen" of New Atheism, he was at the forefront of discussions on consciousness, free will, and the impact of Darwinian evolution on religious belief. Dennett's works, including "Breaking the Spell" and "Consciousness Explained," have provoked both admiration and controversy, challenging readers to reconsider deeply held beliefs about the mind and its relationship to the physical world. Needless to say, I was thrilled to have Dan on the show!
The world has truly lost an extraordinary soul and a groundbreaking thinker.
RIP
Key Takeaways:
00:00:00 Intro
00:01:38 Judging a book by its cover
00:04:41 Dan's critique of Sam Harris's position on free will
00:13:53 The evolutionary advantage of music
00:21:12 Language, nonverbal communication, and artificial intelligence
00:26:43 Are brains computers?
00:38:15 Sounding the alarm on AI
00:43:48 Bioengineering and bioethics
00:49:30 Philosophy of physics
00:54:55 The evolution of academia
