A new study suggests that astronomers could one day use gravitational waves to see into black holes and learn more about them.
create distinct gravitational waves that could be exploited to look deeper into these entities.
Being able to see into black holes using gravitational waves would allow us to learn what black holes are really made of – a question that has stumped scientists and researchers for decades at this point. Currently, the only thing we have to go off of when it comes to black holes is Einstein’s general theory of relativity.Based on that theory, black holes prevent light from escaping because of their strong gravitational pull.
Being able to see into the center of these black holes could then provide a ton of information we don’t currently have access to. Like how the interiors truly form and look. These enigmas have stumped scientists for years, and their mystery has made them some of the most terrifying objects in the universe. It also doesn’t help thatThe theory also predicts that the centers of black holes are infinitely high densities that scientists call singularities.
The paper says that the gravitational waves that merging black holes release right after the merger is the key to seeing into the black holes. The new mass of the two black holes vibrates with an intense amount of energy, releasing a distinct gravitational wave that we may be able to study to learn more about the interior of black holes as a whole.

#153: Fusion breakthrough; COP15 report; Shakespeare and climate changeThere’s been an exciting breakthrough in nuclear fusion. For the first time on Earth, a controlled fusion reaction has generated more power than it requires to run, bringing us closer than ever before to a viable way of producing clean energy for the world. So, what’s the catch? The team finds out.The New Scientist team reports from a worryingly quiet COP15. It’s hoped the biodiversity conference will be an opportunity to set ambitious global goals for nature, to reach the goal of restoring it by 2030. But with a distinct lack of world leaders in attendance, can this vital conference deliver?We now know how to spot alien spacecraft whizzing through space at warp speed…assuming some advanced civilisation has figured out how to stretch the fabric of spacetime of course. The team finds out about this new research which involves LIGO and gravitational waves.Shakespeare lived through an intense period of deforestation and climate change, and he referenced a lot of this in his work. Think back to Titania’s speech in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” about the changing seasons, and when Gloucester in Henry IV part 2 says “the seasons have changed their manners”. Shakespeare even described the energy transition from wood to coal as a fuel source. Rowan chats with Shakespearean scholar Randall Martin from the University of New Brunswick in Canada, and auditions for the part of Queen of the Fairies.Acclaimed science fiction author Adrian Tchaikovsky discusses his latest book, Children of Memory, the story of a fragile human colony on a far flung outpost – and some corvids, which may or may not be sentient. On the pod are Rowan Hooper, Penny Sarchet, Matt Sparkes, Madeleine Cuff, James Dinneen and Alison Flood.
