#gravitationalwaves — Public Fediverse posts

"I put my money on LISA" to finally prove the existence of #BlackHoles via #GravitationalWaves: thus Reinhard Genzel concluded his #ag2026garching talk - and then showed the hilarious short https://youtu.be/8WQXGQYi5kg

S301 whipping past Sgr A* at 8% lightspeed could let us actually measure OUR black hole's spin via frame-dragging on its orbit. Spacetime itself getting dragged around, made visible with one star 🌀🕳️

S301 whipping around Sgr A* at 25,000 km/s, just 11.5 AU out?! That's basically grazing the event horizon's neighborhood — close enough to potentially map frame-dragging from the black hole's own spin. Spacetime is not a metaphor here 🌀
