Why the do we care about gravitational waves?

why the do we care about gravitational waves?
we can see black holes slightly better now? whoop dee fucking doo, why haven't we decoded the human genome yet?

It's cool shit OP

>why haven't we decoded the human genome yet?
clearly biologists are all incompetent

>why haven't we decoded the human genome yet?

I'm working on it.

>why haven't we decoded the human genome yet?
Because all the biologists were so occupied with meausring gravitational waves obviously.

>Complain about scientists not doing their work as fast as they could
>on Veeky Forums because that's where you always waste your time

>why haven't we decoded the human genome yet?
It's really hard and takes a long time

>why haven't we decoded the human genome yet?

Because these are two entirely separate fields of study and obviously all biologists are incompetent.

>why haven't we decoded the human genome yet?

nigga, i can do that with a my smarphone, look

Seriously tho, anyone else worried about the repercussions of this?
>DNA sequencing can be done with a smart phone
>every citizen carries a smart phone at all times
>Trump demands all cellphones have backdoors placed in them that can be legally accessed by 15 government agencies and 30 private companies and illegally accessed (only illegal if you get caught) by anyone on the planet

Sequencing just means reading out the letters.

Decoding means actually understanding fully what is going on. Which parts of the genome are genes, which genes do what, that kind of thing. Having a random sequence of letters tells you nothing.

>Decoding means actually understanding fully what is going on

This always bugged me. Why is it so hard? I'm not up to date with latest research but can we understand even the simplest genome ie. single cell organisms?

There's the genome, the epigenome, the transcriptome, the proteome, the metabolome and others. It's a lot more complicated than your genes deciding everything about you.

Because a protein's function depends on its interaction with millions of other proteins and molecules. So simply knowing the structure of the protein is not very helpful.

Perturbation theory a shit. Computing power a shit. Non crystallizable proteins a shit. etc.

Interdasting... Any recommended reading that's dealing with this topic?

We still haven't found the genetic code for people with downs On the Veeky Forums genome

Now we can guarantee the existence of gravitons

No, that doesn't follow.

Waves almost guarantee the existence of a interference of a particle

There are entire fields of study within this topic. Genomics, proteomics etc.

No they don't. GWs are completely described by GR which is classical.

>we can see black holes slightly better now? why haven't we decoded the human genome yet?
It's not as if halting research on one will increase research on the other. What is your point?

I've seen it disingenuously implied by poopsci plebs such as Bill Nye that they are related to theorised quantum field waves of gravity.

>Why is it so hard?
Aside from this >There's the genome, the epigenome, the transcriptome, the proteome, the metabolome and others

There's also the fact that the simulations to work out how it all works are really complicated.

Because they are so complicated, we can only simulate cells doing shit on a really, really small scale, either time or space. We can simulate a protein over a second or two, or we can simulate a cell over a tiny fraction of a second.

Anything bigger than that requires way more computing power than we have and also has all sorts of inaccuracies because physics is complicated. The larger the scale in time or space, the more those inaccuracies make your simulation into a joke, not that we even have the computing power to do it anyway.

So GW's are mechanical?

They are physical distortion of space-time, not a field propagation.

Because it is illegal to due the required experiments to get shit like that done in a timely manner.

>why the do we care
What do you mean by "we", Peasant?

>General relativity is classical mechanics

wtf

Since everyone here seems to be talking out of their ass including op,how about you idiots post something relevant for a change.

This talk covers active uses of the gravitational waves research

Classical means anything that isn't quantum. It isn't exclusive to classical mechanics.
