Einstein's legacy was far-reaching, and his theory of relativity alone was able to expand into many unexpected areas, and with the advancement of technology, almost all of Einstein's ten predictions have been confirmed.
But it is this relativistic theory that Einstein did not win the Nobel Prize in physics, and only won the prize once because of the photoelectric effect.
However, the theory of relativity has a great impact on human cognition, not only in theory, but also in the explanation of phenomena that integrates electromagnetism and mechanics.
Because it is for perfect integration, there are still many places that have not been fully explained.
Therefore, many scholars have been exploring this field of research for a long time, and even Einstein was convinced of his own theory.
This also gives people more fun to explore, until the continuous development of science and technology, people explore more deeply, and also discover some more unexpected things.
Is there any mistake in Einstein's theory, which has recently been verified again, and what is it about black holes swallowing neutron stars and producing gravitational wave signals?
1. Black holes devour neutron stars.
Einstein's theory of relativity was not directly evidenced until 2016, when gravitational waves were discovered, which made people excited.
This also proves that Einstein's theory of relativity is really correct.
Three years later, in 2019, there was another big discovery, that is, on August 14, 2019 local time, American astronomers discovered for the first time that a noisy gravitational wave signal was generated 1 billion light-years away.
After many observations, it was confirmed that the gravitational wave signal was real, and that the signal was coming from the same direction as the Earth, which caused great excitement among astronomers, who believed that it must be a gravitational signal wave caused by the collision of two supermassive objects.
In 2015, LIGO detected gravitational waves from a black hole collision, again from LIGO, but this time LIGO is working with two European space exploration satellites to pinpoint where massive objects are coming from.
In this way, it took astronomers three days to pinpoint who actually sent the gravitational wave signal from 1 billion light-years away from Earth, which turned out to be the gravitational wave signal produced by the collision of two massive celestial bodies.
The smallest of the two massive objects that hit this time had a mass 10 times that of the Sun, and the largest one had a mass 60 times that of the Sun.
After analyzing the gravitational wave signals, astronomers confirmed that the impact event was a collision of two black holes, and that the first had a mass of 6.9 times the mass of the Sun and the second black hole had a mass of 9.7 times.
From this, it is concluded that the two black holes are massive black holes, and the escaped gravitational wave signal can confirm the existence of the black hole, which also proves the correctness of Einstein's Einstein's theory of relativity, which can be used to explain the phenomenon of gravitational multipolar radiation.
It is difficult to deduce black hole collisions from Einstein's theory of relativity, which also makes the study of black holes a little less.
A year later, LIGO discovered the gravitational wave signal again, which did not cause much excitement among astronomers, until the analysis of its data found that the signal was different, this time the signal was more like the collision of two celestial bodies of different masses, but after calculation, it was found that their mass was not correct, so astronomers reprocessed the data.
After many comparisons, it was found that the gravitational wave signal was not generated by the black hole collision, but the gravitational wave signal generated by the black hole devouring the neutron star.
2. Black holes engulf neutron stars to produce gravitational wave signals.
One of these two objects has a mass of 2.6 and 2.6 times the mass of the launch, and the other has a mass of 3.5 times, two black holes and a neutron star, respectively.
After analysis, it was found that the three celestial bodies engulfed each other and generated gravitational wave signals.
And this detection is special, because the collision of these two black holes and a neutron star is the first time it has been detected, so astronomers are paying more attention to this detection.
Neutron stars are twice as massive as the Sun, and the masses of these two black holes are greater than the mass of the first detection, so it is certain that these two black holes are massive black holes.
Even the second black hole was 21 times more massive than the Sun, confirming that the black hole is constantly engulfing the mass of the Sun and getting bigger and bigger.
Eventually, as astronomers had speculated, the two black holes swallowed neutron stars one after the other, and the probe also proved that gravitational waves traveled a long distance, reaching 1.3 billion light-years, and were able to record the details of the collision.
3. The discovery of gravitational waves became the focus of astronomy.
The discovery of gravitational waves greatly broadened the field of astronomy research, and also made astronomy boom in the first century, which made astronomy make great progress in this century.
Einstein's own counter-proof could not prove the correctness of this proposition, but because of other methods of verifying Einstein's theory, Einstein's theory was confirmed.
And what these methods verify is exactly what Einstein deduced from his theory.
So the exploration also confirmed the speculation of local astronomers that the two objects were two black holes and a neutron star, and that the black hole did not collide with other objects.
This immediately became a hot spot, attracting the attention of the whole world, and also confirmed that gravitational waves travel relatively far and can transmit information to very far places.
In this way, the study of astronomy will also become more convenient.
So, will gravitational waves become the medium of communication in our universe in the future?
In this way, humans can observe more celestial bodies, which has allowed astronomy to develop rapidly in a short period of time, and gravitational waves can span long time spans, spatial scales, and opaque matter.
As a result, objects that could not be observed before can be observed, as well as distant space-time, which will lead to great progress in the study of such objects as black holes and dark matter.
epilogue
The gravitational wave scopes available today are far less sensitive, so it is possible to find more gravitational wave signals in the future.
Einstein's theories have had a very profound impact on the development of human science, from the tidal force of gravitational tides to the collision of black holes, to the collision of many other objects.
This also makes many scholars deeply fascinated by his theory, his principle is also very valuable, Einstein's theory is a revelation, not a law, it will show us the way.
These principles can be applied to other fields of physics as well.
In the future, it is possible to establish a telemetry system that will allow humans to further observe many unknown celestial objects.
