Gravitational waves from black hole merger

Atoms can fall into the black hole. They just won't be atoms after they reach the final destination. Once they're inside they won't get back out again before, during, or after the merger event.

Yet 3 solar mass were lost in the merger.

Any electromagnetic signal that can be associated with the merger event occurs due to dynamics outside the merging apparent horizons. When they merge the gravitational radiation, waves, create tidal acceleration that can rip the spacetime outside the horizon apart. The only 'must' you need to concern yourself about is nothing is getting back out of the merged black holes.

The cern paper which Paddoboy linked explains that, GRB and GWB can be associated.

The only em radiation escaping black holes is Hawking Radiation.

The cern paper did not mention about Hawking Radiation, though it explains about GRB.
 
Look. Pay attention. It's pretty simple answer. LIGO is a gravitational wave interferometer. Designed to detect gravitational waves. Not electromagnetic waves. We have other experimental apparatus to detect electromagnetic radiation. For an event such as this there will be an immediate attempt to find out whether any electromagnetic signal might correlate to the merger event where the gravitational wave originates. Scientists work together. They actually work for you since you get to share in the discovery. If you want to argue about the details figure out what they are first. Read the entire abstract of the paper you linked.

A quote from the abstract of the paper which i linked says
Fermi GBM Observations of LIGO Gravitational Wave event GW150914 said:
Future joint observations of GW events by LIGO/Virgo and Fermi GBM could reveal whether the weak transient reported here is a plausible counterpart to the GW event GW150914 or a chance coincidence, and will further probe the connection between compact binary mergers and short Gamma-Ray Bursts.

So, we have to wait for another GW detection for LIGO paper confirmation.

Hopefully they'll get a chance at a complete analysis.

That means present LIGO analysis is incomplete.
 
No light escaped. You do not understand the article you posted if you think it suggests "light escaped from a black hole" - nor is gravitational radiation the same as light.

By light I mean particle photon or any EM radiation. GRB is em radiation. So i termed this as light.

Common sense does not apply in high energy physics, quantum physics or the physics of black holes. There is nothing "common" to the human experience that gives us any references we can use to understand such phenomena.

See my post #220.
 
I dont know, what is your idea of "common sense". You can follow this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_sense . To make science, it has to make some sense. One of my paper was not accepted because it did not make enough sense. So common sense is must for science.
Common sense changes along with the data, observations and knowledge we gain.eg: It was once common sense that space and time were both absolute.
We know better now that our further observations and data has shown that to be false.

Yes, common sense is different from logic ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic ) . But can you understand logic without common sense.
Logic is the application of common sense, gained with observing, experimenting, and researching the data.
 
So, we have to wait for another GW detection for LIGO paper confirmation.
:) No, we wait for another confirmation of gravitational waves to see if we have any other EM signal that can be more firmly associated with such GW's.
Twistng facts will not get you anywhere.

That means present LIGO analysis is incomplete.
No again. The present LIGO confirmation of gravitational waves and coalescing BH's, is just that...confirmed. The EM counterpart that was briefly seen is what is in question.
Any accretion disk present could explain that. As others have continually told you, no EM signal escapes the EH of any BH.
 
The cern paper which Paddoboy linked explains that, GRB and GWB can be associated.
"Can be" is not the same as confirmed, no matter how you chose to interpret that for your own cause.

The cern paper did not mention about Hawking Radiation, though it explains about GRB.
Why would it mention anything about an effect so minimal that its time frame can be measured over the life of the universe.
 
here is part of your problem. " common sense " has no place in science.
common sense is a completely different element than logic.

Many common-sense based views may not be scientifically correct, but that does not mean that common sense can be completely alienated from science or logic. This is pretty simple, do not shake and shrug so much on this trivial point.

Paddoboy, You missed the point that short duration GRBs have characteristic quite similar to evaporating primordial BH, and evaporation of primordial BH is through HR only.......thats mainstream.

Rubbish........Again, LIGO is not fitted out to detect any EMR.
And the short duration one that was detected, is no certainty as was the gravitational wave certainty. The detected EMR is not as yet totally confirmed as to its part in this great discovery, and of course any HR/GRB applies at the time of BH evaporation itself. What were you saying about missing the point?:rolleyes:

But yes of course the detection of VSGRB's are evidence of evaporating primordial BH's via Hawking Radiation, which you have emphatically denied in the past.
Nice to see some recognition of mainstream.

You made an emphatic point that since HR takes long long time and it is so minimal then why should it be referred with GRB ? Thats a poor argument. Short duration GRBs and HR could be linked.

No, LIGO confirmed gravitational waves, binary BH pairs and spacetime curvature.

Please take the time to read the paper. My point was and is, that the observed GRB, is not totally confirmed as to direction and what part it has played with this magnificent discovery of gravitational waves and BH confirmation.
Heady stuff!

But yes of course the detection of VSGRB's are possibly evidence of evaporating primordial BH's via Hawking Radiation, which you have emphatically denied in the past.

Any accretion disk present could explain that. As others have continually told you, no EM signal escapes the EH of any BH.
Hawking Radiation of course is caused by virtual particle pair creation with one being consumed by the BH, and the other escaping and so becoming real.
The partner that has fallen in being negative and thus subtracting from the BH's mass, as in line with accepted quantum mechanics.

So why this summary ?? Too excited ?....control paddoboy, control....

I'm always in control as well as having the common sense to recognise the confirmations I spoke of......

FIG. 1. The gravitational-wave event GW150914 observed by the LIGO Hanford (H1, left column panels) and Livingston (L1, right column panels) detectors. Times are shown relative to September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC. For visualization, all time series are filtered with a 35–350 Hz band-pass filter to suppress large fluctuations outside the detectors’ most sensitive frequency band, and band-reject filters to remove the strong instrumental spectral lines seen in the Fig. 3 spectra.

  • Top row, left: H1 strain. Top row, right: L1 strain. GW150914 arrived first at L1 and 6.9 (+0.5 −0.4) ms later at H1; for a visual comparison the H1 data are also shown, shifted in time by this amount and inverted (to account for the detectors’ relative orientations).
  • Second row: Gravitational-wave strain projected onto each detector in the 35–350 Hz band. Solid lines show a numerical relativity waveform for a system with parameters consistent with those recovered from GW150914 confirmed by an independent calculation. Shaded areas show 90% credible regions for two waveform reconstructions: one that models the signal as a set of sine-Gaussian wavelets and one that models the signal using binary-black-hole template waveforms. These reconstructions have a 95% overlap.
  • Third row: Residuals after subtracting the filtered numerical relativity waveform from the filtered detector time series.
  • Bottom row: A time-frequency decomposition of the signal power associated with GW150914. Both plots show a signal with frequency increasing with time.

Hanford (H1) is shown in red, Livingston (L1) in blue. The solid traces represent the median sensitivity and the shaded regions indicate the 5th and 95th percentile over the analysis period. The narrowband features in the spectra are due to known mechanical resonances, mains power harmonics, and injected signals used for calibration.

These histograms show the number of candidate events (orange markers) and the mean number of background events in the search class where GW150914 was found (black lines) as a function of the search detection statistic and with a bin width of 0.2. The scales on the top give the significance of an event in Gaussian standard deviations based on the corresponding noise background . The significance of GW150914 is greater than 5.1 σ and 4.6 σ for the binary coalescence and the generic transient searches, respectively. (Left): Along with the primary search (C3) we also show the results (yellow markers) and background (green curve) for an alternative search that treats events independently of their frequency evolution (C2+C3). The classes C2 and C3 are defined in the text. (Right): The tail in the black-line background of the binary coalescence search is due to random coincidences of GW150914 in one detector with noise in the other detector. (This type of event is practically absent in the generic transient search background because they do not pass the time-frequency consistency requirements used in that search.) The blue curve is the background excluding those coincidences, which is used to assess the significance of the second strongest event candidate.

Yes. And none of the things you listed came from inside a black hole.

3 solar mass were lost in this event. Isn't this mass loss from inside a black hole. It is assumed that the two events GRB and GWB have a common origin. http://gammaray.nsstc.nasa.gov/gbm/publications/preprints/gbm_ligo_preprint.pdf . A quote from the abstract of the link says:
Fermi GBM Observations of LIGO Gravitational Wave event GW150914 said:
Assuming the two events have a common origin, the combined LIGO and GBM observations can reduce the 90% confidence interval on sky location from 601 to 199 square degrees.

"One of my paper was not accepted because it did not make enough sense." - I can believe that.

My paper is not published but my theory is not wrong. To develop this theory I made one prediction. I find my prediction is confirmed by an article published in the journal Nature.

Yes. The mass was converted to gravitational radiation. This is neither EM radiation nor emitted matter.

Again, no radiation or mass can escape from a black hole. Gravity can (which is why it's a black hole to begin with.) Black holes can also have observable characteristics of mass, charge and spin, and thus that information can escape.
