of active sleep. they tire them out. does not really sound right. tickling them with a paintbrush. i would not suggest that is i would suggest that is not a nice thing to do. concentrate. we are going to talk about distant galaxies and the distortion of space and time. scientists believe they have picked up scientists believe they have picked up shock waves. from the merger of supermassive black holes have been detected by four separate groups of scientists around the world. up in space, at the heart of every galaxy is thought to be a gigantic black hole. here s a real picture of the one at the centre of our own milky way. it s four million times the mass of our sun. it became that big by colliding with other huge black holes inside other galaxies. astronomers atjodrell bank and across the world think they ve detected some of these cataclysmic events.
now heading into space because scientists believe they have picked up shock waves from supermassive black holes which exist at the centre of every galaxy. they say they could hold information about some of the best kept secrets of the universe . 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh explains. up in space, at the heart of every galaxy is thought to be a gigantic black hole. here s a real picture of the one at the centre of our own milky way. it s four million times the mass of our sun. it became that big by colliding with other huge black holes inside other galaxies. astronomers atjodrell bank and across the world think they ve detected some of these cataclysmic events. pulsars, which are like nature s clocks, really. 0n the dish of the giant lovell telescope, dr hannah middleton tells me that ideas on how galaxies merge and grow have all been theoretical until maybe now. we believe that galaxies and the black holes at the centre
supermassive black holes like we see in our own galaxy, we want to know where they come from, how they grow, how do they where they come from, how they gfow, how do they interact where they come from, how they grow, how do they interact with the galaxies that they live in, and they will help us to understand how our own galaxy comes about. even we can try and test theories of gravity, so like einsteins general relativity, we can test whether this is really correct and find by probing the most extreme environments in the universe, we can really test these theories and push them to the absolute limit. it’s theories and push them to the absolute limit. absolute limit. it s absolutely fascinating. absolute limit. it s absolutely fascinating. it s absolute limit. it s absolutely fascinating. it s an absolute limit. it s absolutely fascinating. it s an amazing i absolute limit. it s absolutely - fascinating. it s an amazing career to have. i will ask a slightly more personal questio
next ten seconds was she is. ? i of leeway in terms of that. fill the i next ten seconds was she is. ? she is 45th wealthiest next ten seconds was she is. ? she is 45th wealthiest self-made - next ten seconds was she is. ? she is 45th wealthiest self-made woman | is 45th wealthiest self made woman in the world. that is incredible. that is very impressive. madonna, the queen of pop indeed. sorry to cut you short in your prime. back later i m sure with madonna. scientists say they ve found the first evidence of low frequency gravitational waves that are thought to be constantly rolling through space. the leading theory is that the waves are caused by the merger of supermassive black holes at the heart of distant galaxies, as our science correspondent, pallab ghosh reports up in space, at the heart of every galaxy is thought to be a gigantic black hole. here s a real picture of the one at the centre of our own milky way. it s four million times the mass of our sun. it became that big by
