No, it's not.
So we can detect both of these radiations, the light and the gravitational waves.
And this is multi-messenger astronomy.
We've mentioned it a couple of times on the show, but it's really worth repeating.
This is astronomy that deals with light, which is what we've been using forever.
We've been looking at the light, but now we can look at also the gravitational waves.
And when you can see both,
an event that emits gravitational waves and light, that's amazing because you have two completely distinct windows into space, and we can learn a lot more that way.
So the thing that happened that was bizarre is that the gravitational waves were emitted, and then they stopped because when they collided, the gravitational waves disappear.
Then the light should have been emitted immediately, but it waited two seconds, about 1.7 seconds.
So this light was two seconds late.
Why?
Why was this late?
It shouldn't have been two seconds late.
It should have been right on the heels of the gravitational waves, but it wasn't.
So what does that mean?
Is that a real mystery?
Does it point to some new physics?
Perhaps light has the tiniest bit of mass.
Because you know, if you have a little bit of mass, you can't go at the speed of light.
