While most geeks are content to debate whether Batman can fight Wolverine, dead planet society Latest episode of Could Gravitational Waves Rip Entire Planets? new scientist-The owned podcast takes a god-like approach to the universe, asking whether it is possible to move celestial bodies like chess on a chessboard, and whether two planets can be placed near each other in such a way that the resulting gravitational waves occur. I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to put a black hole. Pull away like monkey bread.
If theoretical gravitational waves were vibrating at the right frequency, they could stretch the Earth beyond its limits and break up into even smaller chunks.
Gravitational wave researcher Christopher Berry joins hosts Chelsea White and Leah Crane. dead planet societyIn the latest episode of .
What Causes Gravitational Waves?
Gravitational waves are usually caused by something very large and dense, like a black hole, colliding with another black hole. The resulting cosmic ripples or “waves” radiate outward, disrupting space-time as they travel. Most of these cosmic cataclysms are so remote that the waves that reach Earth are so small that they can only be detected by highly specialized instruments.

The three podcasters started with the premise, “Is it possible to create gravitational waves strong enough for humans to feel?” But conversations quickly devolved into how to make waves big enough to destroy the Earth, or, as Chelsea put it, “yes, how to destroy everything in the solar system and everywhere.” The first problem, Berry said, is to distinguish between gravitational waves and plain gravity.
Ultimately, gravitational waves can be used to destroy planets, or even entire solar systems if you so choose, but the circumstances behind such waves cannot occur naturally. The consensus seems to be no.
“It’s not so easy because when you get very close to the source of a gravitational wave, at least the gravitational waves we’re talking about, say two black holes orbiting each other, space-time actually chokes up, so you can’t really get into the wave and its To distinguish the underlying gravity itself,” Berry explained.
Berry eventually settles on the vibration as the key to pulling the earth apart. If theoretical gravitational waves were vibrating at the right frequency, they could stretch the Earth beyond its limits and break up into even smaller chunks. From there the conversation turns into Black His Hall’s theoretical cosmic symphony, which is placed at specific locations and at specific frequencies to generate different sound waves.
Berry theorizes that if that signal could be sent in any direction in space, it would be a beautiful-sounding orchestra of pure destruction.

Only if man could control the universe in the same way Mine Craft Players rule their own little world, but can you set up a scenario that triggers planet-destroying gravitational waves?
In other words, don’t add the words “struck apart by a giant gravitational wave” to your 2023 bingo card just yet.
