   Albert Einstein predicted that gravitational waves should exist, and now we measure them. This is the most direct observation of black holes that we've ever had. This is a complete revolution in science. NARRATOR: And it's all possible because of that quantum technology that has become completely embedded in our lives: the laser. The more stable your laser is, the more things in the universe you can measure. And there's no limit to it. So every year, when we get lasers better and better, we'll be able to see further out into the universe and see tinier things in the microscopic nature of reali…

   And it's really hard to imagine explaining that in a way that wouldn't ultimately make use of some dark stuff that's exerting a gravitational pole. So that's my guess. We just got to keep going and we will finally find it. What do you think physics will achieve in the next 100 years? What do you think will be the next big breakthrough? Saba from YouTube. Oh, well, I love questions like this, but the truth is if I if I knew the answer, I'd be like heading in that direction right now. So, of course, nobody does. But what are the most exciting areas? I think gravitational wave physics is enormous…

   And Einstein was also troubled by a particular detail of this unknown thing called the active measurement, which is if you've got a nice spread out wave function, let's just do a single particle. So we can actually picture that wave function just in three dimensions. So you have this nice spread out wave function and then you measure it and you find the particle here. Then this algorithm suggests that this wave has changed everywhere is now spiked. It has its support where the experimenttor found the particle. Einstein was like wait how's that possible? Right? You got this spread out wave in p…

   Maxwell says there is something called the speed of light. It is the speed at which waves in the electromagnetic fields move. And naively, you look at the equations and everyone measures the same value for the speed of light. It's a constant of nature. How can it possibly be the case that everyone measures the same speed for light even if they're moving with respect to each other? So for a long time, for decades, people, physicists, bashed their heads against this problem. They came with very elaborate schemes to get rid of it. And it was Einstein, Albert Einstein, in his great paper in 1905, …

   I haven't looked into it deeply enough.  Certainly, the real embrace of these ideas didn't   come until awfully recently. And I presume  that there was a lot of skepticism then,   as there was in the 1920s and even into  the 1930s and '40s and '50s and '60s. Brian: For sure, for sure. So let's get into   the more modern version, which takes us really to  the trenches in World War I, Karl Schwarzschild. Kip: Amazing   man. Karl Schwarzschild was a great astronomer,  astrophysicist. He's sitting in the trenches in   World…

   > that detects, Yes, I can, or a meter. But the fact is that meters that detect things, usually people think in terms of electric meters. When electric meters detect electric phenomena, magnetometers detect magnetic phenomena, you don't detect a gravitational field with an electric meter or gravity or a magnetometer. You need to detect fields of the appropriate kind.

    In real life, you find it works for both of these and either of us can maintain we are not moving. So now, you've got to fast forward to about 300 years. This goes on, no problem with this principle of relativity and 300 years later, people have discovered electricity and magnetism and electromagnetism and electromagnetic waves, which they identify as light. And then, it was discovered that what you and I call light is just electric and magnetic fields traveling in space. You don't have to know what electro-magnetic fields are right now. They are some measurable phenomenon. They are like waves…
