0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co. |
0:22.7 | .jp. That's Y-A-K-U-L-T.C-O.J-P. When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacult. |
0:33.6 | This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher in Taliatta. |
0:39.0 | Last year, astronomers observed two neutron stars collide, |
0:43.0 | a crash transmitted in gravitational waves to detectors here on Earth. |
0:47.2 | Represented in sound, you can hear a small upward sweep and frequency in the data, |
0:51.8 | if you listen closely. |
0:55.3 | Several seconds later, the first waves of electromagnetic radiation arrived here on Earth. |
1:00.0 | The first time a collision has been detected by both light and gravitational waves. |
1:05.4 | And it's in studying the electromagnetic echoes of the collision that astrophysicists have gotten a far better glimpse of what |
1:12.0 | really happened after those binary neutron stars merged 130 million light years away. |
1:18.2 | Oh yeah, absolutely. So it gives us an understanding of basically all the nitigrities of what is |
1:25.4 | going on after the merger takes place. |
1:30.2 | Kunal Mule, an astrophysicist at Caltech. |
1:36.3 | First, he says, the stars collided, creating a massive black hole-like object, |
1:41.6 | which started sucking up the cloud of neutron-rich cosmic debris left over from the crash. |
1:43.4 | But its appetite was limited. It cannot eat all of it. So some bit of it |
1:47.0 | basically escapes. Those escaping leftovers spewed outward into space as a powerful jet. But along |
1:53.3 | the way, Amule says, the jet appears to have interacted with that cloud of neutron-rich material, |
