The merging of two neutron stars was detected by gravitational waves and then by telescopes in all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is a historic detection as it demonstrates:
- the first gravitational waves detected from inspiraling neutron stars
- the first joint observation by gravitational wave and electromagnetic wave astronomy
- identification of a gamma ray burst in conjunction with merging neutron stars
- how gravitational waves and gamma rays can be used together to locate their source

All evidence so far indicates that the data support General Relativity.

Jets and Debris from a Neutron Star Collision
This animation captures phenomena observed over the course of nine days following the neutron star merger known as GW170817. They include gravitational waves (pale arcs); a near-light-speed jet that produced gamma rays (magenta); expanding debris from a "kilonova" that produced ultraviolet (violet), optical and infrared (blue-white to red) emission; and, once the jet directed toward us expanded into our view from Earth, X-rays (blue).

Virgo Helps Localize Gravitational-Wave Signals
Sky localizations of gravitational-wave signals detected by LIGO beginning in 2015 (GW150914, LVT151012, GW151226, GW170104), and, more recently, by the LIGO-Virgo network (GW170814, GW170817). After Virgo came online in August 2017, scientists were better able to localize the gravitational-wave signals. The background is an optical image of the Milky Way. The localizations of GW150914, LVT151012, and GW170104 wrap around the celestial sphere, so the sky map is shown with a translucent dome.

Variety of Gravitational Waves and a Chirp
The signal measured by LIGO and Virgo from the neutron star merger GW170817 is compared here to previously detected binary black hole mergers. All signals are shown starting at 30 Hertz, and the progression of GW170817 is shown in real time, accompanied by its conversion to audio heard at the end of the movie. GW170817 was observable for more than 30 times longer than any previous gravitational-wave signal.

LIGO is funded by the NSF, and operated by Caltech and MIT, which conceived of LIGO and led the Initial and Advanced LIGO projects. Financial support for the Advanced LIGO project was led by the NSF with Germany (Max Planck Society), the U.K. (Science and Technology Facilities Council) and Australia (Australian Research Council) making significant commitments and contributions to the project.

More than 1,200 scientists and some 100 institutions from around the world participate in the effort through the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, which includes the GEO Collaboration and the Australian collaboration OzGrav. Additional partners are listed at http://ligo.org/partners.php

The Virgo collaboration consists of more than 280 physicists and engineers belonging to 20 different European research groups: six from Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in France; eight from the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) in Italy; two in the Netherlands with Nikhef; the MTA Wigner RCP in Hungary; the POLGRAW group in Poland; Spain with the University of Valencia; and the European Gravitational Observatory, EGO, the laboratory hosting the Virgo detector near Pisa in Italy, funded by CNRS, INFN, and Nikhef.

Artist: Kitaro
Album: Impressions Of The West Lake

Impressions Of The West Lake is a modern day opera conceived and directed by internationally acclaimed filmmaker Zhang Yimou (Hero, Curse of the Golden Flower), the visionary artist behind the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
The production is highlighted by music composed by the Grammy and Golden Globe Award winning artist Kitaro. This pairing of East-meets-West is a rare combination of two artists at the peak of their creative talents.

The opera also marks a reunion for Kitaro and music arranger Randy Miller, the pair's first effort together since the Golden Globe-winning soundtrack to Oliver Stone's 1993 film Heaven and Earth. This opera is another impressive credit for Miller, whose lengthy career as a composer, orchestrator, and conductor for films includes such highlights as Without Limits, First Snow, and The Soong Sisters (Best Original Score, Hong Kong Film Award).
The show's soundtrack also features rising Chinese pop star Jane Zhang, a gifted young performer who provides stunning vocals to the production on the title track, "Impressions Of The Westlake".

Through the course of his career, Kitaro has sold millions of albums, CD's and DVD's worldwide. Kitaro's various sound collaborations and resonant, multi-textured compositions, with their crescendos of passion and oases of serenity, truly defy the constraints of any genre. His pioneering fusion of cultures, techniques and spheres of consciousness is truly his own. With Impressions Of The West Lake, Kitaro continues to explore new, uncharted terrain with his magnificently expansive vision and ever-questing spirit.

2008年北京奧運開閉幕式「印象西湖」的幕後推手是國際知名大導演張藝謀(曾指導電影,英雄, 滿城盡帶黃金甲,)。印象西湖是一場現代歌劇，而這場演出更因葛萊美及金球獎得主喜多郎的配樂而受人矚目，這場東西方間的罕見交會交織了兩位大師的絕頂創作天才

這場歌劇更是喜多郎與音樂總監藍迪米勒的再次聯手出擊。兩位大師於大導演奧立佛史東一九九三年所執導電影「天地」原聲帶中首次合作，並榮獲金球獎最佳原聲帶大獎。這場歌劇是米勒的另一傑作。米勒同具作曲家、指揮家身份於一身，其作品包括「永無止盡」、「第一場雪」、「宋家皇朝」(榮獲香港電影金像獎最佳原創配樂獎)。這場大秀原聲帶中尚有極速躍升的新星張靚穎共同演出，她為主打歌「印象西湖」獻出了極具震撼力的歌聲。

於其職業生涯中，喜多郎的專輯、CD、DVD，於全球各地狂銷數百萬張。喜多郎的作品揉織了多種樂音，成為和諧並多質感的樂曲。由他的作品中可以同時感受到音樂家的熱情，以及如綠洲般的寧靜。他獨到的融合了各種文化、音樂技巧、以及意識氛圍。於印象西湖中，喜多郎藉著他輝煌廣闊的視野以及永無止盡追求進步的精神，再次探索了全新、未知的領域。

Lift is an important concept, not only in flying but also in sailing. This week I'm talking to Olympic Sailor, Hunter Lowden. But before I get to the physics of sailing I thought I would explain lift since it's generally poorly understood.

Raw interviews: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dcw98B2Nzg
The question has arisen often enough that I thought I'd answer it. If you hold views that are consistent with the majority of the population, does that make you stupid? I don't think so. Science has uncovered a lot of counterintuitive things about the universe, so it's unsurprising that non-scientists hold beliefs inconsistent with science. But when we teach, we must take into account what the learners know, including their incorrect knowledge. That is the reason a lot of Veritasium videos start with the misconceptions.

The Higgs Boson is awesome but it's NOT responsible for most of your mass! Thanks to audible.com for supporting this episode: http://bit.ly/ZJ5Q6z
The Higgs mechanism is meant to account for the mass of everything, right? Well no, only the fundamental particles, which means that electrons derive their mass entirely from the Higgs interaction but protons and neutrons, made of quarks, do not. In fact the quark masses are so small that they only make up about 1% of the mass of the proton (and a similar fraction of the neutron). The rest of the mass comes from the energy in the gluon field. Gluons are massless, but there is so much energy in the field that by E=mc^2 there is a significant amount of mass there. This is where most of your mass comes from and the mass of virtually everything around you.

「最近の日系アメリカ人の子供はJapanese Americanっていうのを嫌がりAsian Americanて言うんです。世界はボーダレスですから文化が癒合して又新しい文化が生まれる事は良い事なのですが、自分の根っこがどこにあるのか、日本人の文化のルーツを知らずに自分をJapaneseと言いたがらない心理は、やはりアメリカで生まれた日本の子供にキッチリと日本の文化を教えずに来てしまったからだと僕は思う」と言う喜多郎さん。そして日本から臼と木槌を運び近所の人たちを集めて日本のお正月の風物詩「餅つき会」を始めた。数十年、「餅つき会」は「餅つき大会」となってコロラドとサンフランシスコの新年恒例行事となる。継続こそ力！真の文化継承は一人の強い意志が多くの人の共感を呼び、そして大きく発展していく。喜多郎さんの意志を引き継ぐ人々によって・・そういえば日本のお正月、餅つきの風景は見られなくなりましたねぇ・・・

A pesar de terminar con el labio hinchado la pasé de maravilla. Creo que saber algo sobre física en realidad ayuda a volar la mochila cohete. Funciona según el mismo principio que un cohete (la tercera ley de Newton), pero a diferencia del transbordador, no llevas tu propio propulsor contigo. En cambio, una moto de agua bombea agua desde el lago hasta 60 litros por segundo. Luego se dispara a través de las boquillas a aproximadamente 15 metros por segundo, creando 1800 Newton de fuerza, el equivalente a unos 150 extintores de incendios. Esto puede producir una aceleración de alrededor de 1,5 Gs sobre mí.

Space junk is a real problem. NASA now tracks around 20,000 pieces of debris orbiting Earth, most of them larger than 10cm across. Since the average speed of a collision between orbiting objects is 10 km/s these pieces of trash can cause a lot of damage despite their small size.

Scientists in Switzerland have a plan to clean up space junk - it involves creating a 'Janitor Satellite' that will seek out pieces of space junk to drag back into the atmosphere causing them to burn up.
