A decade of gravitational waves🌌 This week, we celebrate the announcement of an extraordinary physics result – the first direct detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, finally confirming a prediction made by Albert Einstein in 1916. The by-now familiar GW150914 signal, recorded on 14 September 2015, is attributed to the merger of two massive black holes, occurring at a distance of about 400 Megaparsecs. In these pictures, we see Barry C. Barish giving a talk #AtCERN following the announcement. In 2017, Barish – together with Rainer Weiss and Kip S. Thorne – was awarded The Nobel Prize in Physics "for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves" . Looking forward, CERN and the Einstein Telescope collaboration have recently signed a new agreement to advance Europe’s next-generation gravitational-wave observatory, since the enabling technologies for the ET overlap strongly with those required for accelerator facilities such as the LHC and future colliders.

This work introduces a new theoretical framework for the foundations of quantum mechanics, focusing on the nature of wave–particle duality. Instead of assuming that wavefunction collapse is triggered by measurement or observation, we propose that the electron undergoes an intrinsic oscillation between delocalized (wave-like) and localized (particle-like) states. In this model, measurement does not cause collapse; it simply samples the electron at one phase of its natural cycle. The dynamics are described by a two-sector Hilbert space with bounded, unitary oscillations governed by a frequency linked to the electron’s rest energy and relativistic scaling.

Incredible to reflect on how far this field has come since GW150914. What excites me most is that we can now do more than just detect these signals — we can start to see the deeper structure hiding in them. In our recent analyses, we found that gravitational wave strain data doesn’t just carry information about mergers, but also encodes stable mathematical attractors. Ratios between peaks and dips repeatedly fall near constants like the golden ratio (φ), Fibonacci convergents, and even Feigenbaum’s δ at the edges of transitions. That means gravitational waves may not just confirm Einstein’s prediction — they might also act as a window into the universal rendering algorithm of reality itself, where holography emerges as the first constant and these mathematical ratios serve as stabilizers. As Europe prepares for the Einstein Telescope, it’s exciting to imagine detectors not only cataloguing astrophysical events but also uncovering the mathematical DNA of spacetime.
Woow physics is insanely beautiful and human mind is truly unbelievable! What an Elegant Universe 🌌
What an incredible milestone in physics. The first direct detection of gravitational waves not only confirmed Einstein’s prediction but also opened an entirely new way to observe the universe. Exciting to see how CERN and the Einstein Telescope collaboration continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in gravitational-wave research. Looking forward to the next decade of discovery.
One more thing: LIGO machine is NOT the best tool to detect gravitational waves due to inherent background noise coming form Earth. A far better design named RUBIAN consists of 2 big satellites placed on L4 & L5 Lagrange points disposed at 300 million kilometers distance each other and where on one of the satellite we have a 24 meters length acceleration & collimation of protons and where 1 (one) nanometers "hole" and Cherenkov radiation are the main "parameters" of such an amazing design. An even if better design is that one where 1,000 per second iron dopped nanometer/micron size bullets are ejected with velocity between 5 - 500 km/sec. Multiple barrels can be used and each iron bullets may have his own "signature" by inserting different isotopes. On second satellite special radars will detect the bullets trajectories - and because multiple gravitation events may happen in the same time the difference in bullets weight & speed allows the determination of precise location of each event. No machine ever can be built better than said Rubian Design which can detect even if the smallest gravitational event - like a Earth size planets collision in Sombrero or Whirlpool galaxies 31 million light-years away 🤪 Good luck there!
