The new methods can make compact GWD (Gravitational Wave Detectors) possible.

The next-generation gravity wave detectors can be more sensitive and compact than ever imagined. In some scenarios, the nano-size mirrors with as high a reflection as possible can create an optical structure. Where the laser ray's length is thousands of kilometers. This thing is quite hard to make. 

If researchers create that structure using mirrors that reflect 100%. The system can detect the brightness of laser rays. And when the gravity wave hits those laser rays, it changes their brightness. 

But the other thing is what if researchers can stretch light? In stretching light the length of the light surface is big. And that makes it possible to create a system. That can detect gravity waves

The Kerr-enhanced magneto-optical springs can make the next-generation gravity wave detectors (GWD)


But then we can imagine the case that the sensor uses the magneto-optical springs. In some ideas, the magneto-optical spinning structures can harvest the gravity waves, if they are sensitive enough. The problem is that gravity waves are so weak. Gravity waves must impact enough energy to the sensor that it can detect changes in its structure. 

The GWD sensors are the newest tools for the research universe. Those things offer the possibility of researching black hole's internal structures. 

The detectable gravity waves are forming in the black hole's event horizon. But their origin is far inside the event horizon. That means that black holes are like an onion of multiple internal gravity fields. 

All gravitational objects send gravity waves. Those things can also used to give information about the internal structures of other objects. But the problem is how to create GWD that has high enough accuracy. Gravity wave detectors are tools that give information about the most dominating force in the universe. 


Can we someday benefit from gravity waves as an energy source? 


The GWD sensors can also work as pathfinders for the systems that use gravity waves as an energy source. The sensor that measures gravitational waves harvests energy from those waves. Gravity waves can transfer energy to photons. Those things are interactions. And photons should also transfer energy to the gravity waves. 

So large-scale systems could use laser rays to capture gravity waves. Or gravity waves could transport energy to some lightweight, low-energy particles. And then laser rays can block the gravity waves. That thing makes those particles like free gluons or low-energy quarks deliver their extra energy. And maybe someday, we can make those gluon clouds.

Researchers think that the multiverse is not fiction anymore.

Multiverse means that our universe is one of many universes. The reason why researchers and scientists believe that this is true is that logical. About 50 years ago people didn't know that there were other solar systems. Exoplanets were only theories in the 80's.  About 400 years ago people thought that our Sun was the only star in the universe. Edvin Hubble proved that our galaxy, Milky Way is one of many galaxies. Then researchers found that galaxies form groups, and supergroups. That means that today we think that the universe, where we live is the ultimate supergroup of galactic supergroups. And logically thinking there should be other universes. We believe that the universe began its existence in an event or series of events called the Big Bang. That event did not begin, because the energy that formed material should come from somewhere. The Big Bang was not one "bang" or explosion. It was a series of events where material took form. Or the energy level that it h...

Spinning cylinders prove a 50-year-old physics problem.

"Scientists at the University of Southampton have experimentally proven the Zel’dovich effect by amplifying electromagnetic waves using a spinning metal cylinder, confirming a theoretical prediction from the 1970s and opening new avenues in technology and quantum physics. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, 50-Year-Old Physics Theory Proven for the First Time With Electromagnetic Waves) "“Colleagues and I successfully tested this theory in sound waves a few years ago, but until this most recent experiment, it hadn’t been proven with electromagnetic waves. Using relatively simple equipment – a resonant circuit interacting with a spinning metal cylinder – and by creating the specific conditions required, we have now been able to do this.” (ScitechDaily, 50-Year-Old Physics Theory Proven for the First Time With Electromagnetic Waves) Researchers amplified electromagnetic waves using spinning metal cylinders.

What makes it hard to create a room-temperature superconductor?

"The discovery of wave-like Cooper pairs in Kagome metals introduces a new era in superconductivity research, offering potential for innovative quantum devices and superconducting electronics, driven by theoretical predictions and recent experimental validations. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Kagome Metals Unlocked: A New Dimension of Superconductivity) "Superconductivity is a set of physical properties observed in superconductors: materials where electrical resistance vanishes and magnetic fields are expelled from the material. Unlike an ordinary metallic conductor, whose resistance decreases gradually as its temperature is lowered, even down to near absolute zero, a superconductor has a characteristic critical temperature below which the resistance drops abruptly to zero. An electric current through a loop of superconducting wire can persist indefinitely with no power source" (Wikipedia, Superconductivity) Theoretically, a superconducting electric circu...
