The GW150914 event, detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) on September 14, 2015, marks the first direct observation of a binary black hole merger. In the Kinetiverse framework, this phenomenon is reinterpreted as a dynamic interplay of spatial acceleration (\( F=ma \)) and temporal energy transformation (\( E=mc \)), rejecting traditional notions of gravity and spacetime. Located approximately 410 megaparsecs (1.34 billion light-years) away, the merger involved two stellar-mass black holes with initial masses of 36 solar masses (M☉) and 29 M☉. The process culminated in a single black hole with a final mass of approximately 59.4 M☉, losing about 3 M☉ as temporal energy, and achieving a final spin parameter of around 0.69. The event unfolded over a brief period, with the detectable signal lasting approximately 0.3 seconds, encompassing inspiral, merger, and ringdown phases.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Mass 1 | 36 M☉ (7.2 × 10³¹ kg) |
| Mass 2 | 29 M☉ (5.8 × 10³¹ kg) |
| Initial Separation | ~350 km |
| Eccentricity | ~0.1 (mildly eccentric) |
| Initial Spin | ~0.2 (each) |
These black holes began their journey in a mildly eccentric orbit, with an initial separation of approximately 350 kilometers. Their low initial spins (0.2 on a scale from 0 to 1) suggest moderate rotation, while the eccentricity indicates a slight deviation from a perfect circle, influencing the merger dynamics.
The merger of GW150914 can be divided into three distinct phases, each characterized by unique spatial-temporal interactions within the Kinetiverse framework. The electromagnetic (EM) energy wave, detected by LIGO and reinterpreted as a temporal energy fluctuation, provides a signature of these dynamics.
Initially, the two black holes orbited their common center of mass, separated by 350 kilometers. Spatial acceleration (\( F=ma \)), driven by their mutual motion, intensified as the orbit tightened due to entangled space-time dynamics. The angular velocity increased from an initial 35 Hertz, reflecting a rising frequency in the EM energy wave. Temporal energy (\( E=mc \)) dissipated as the varying 'c' transformed mass into energy, with the reduced mass (approximately 15.6 M☉) losing energy at a rate proportional to \( \mu \omega^4 r^2 \). This phase lasted about 0.18 seconds, during which the separation decreased steadily, setting the stage for the merger.
At a critical separation of approximately 10 kilometers, the black holes coalesced rapidly. The spatial-temporal coupling reached its peak, with angular velocity surging as the distance between the black holes diminished. This intense interaction converted approximately 3 solar masses of the total system mass into temporal energy, manifesting as a sharp peak in the EM energy wave. The merger phase, lasting about 0.02 seconds, marked the formation of a single black hole, with the orbital angular momentum and initial spins contributing to a final spin parameter of around 0.69. The EM signal reached its maximum intensity, reflecting the maximum rate of energy transformation.
Following the merger, the newly formed black hole stabilized its spatial-temporal dynamics. Residual fluctuations in temporal energy decayed exponentially over approximately 0.1 seconds, as the system adjusted to a new equilibrium. This ringdown phase produced a damped EM energy wave, with the temporal energy dissipation gradually subsiding. The final black hole, with a mass of 59.4 M☉, retained a significant portion of the initial angular momentum, ensuring a stable rotational state with a spin of 0.69.
The EM energy wave, as detected by LIGO, is a Kinetiverse reinterpretation of the traditional gravitational wave signal. It arises from the varying 'c' during the merger, driven by the transformation of mass into temporal energy, rather than spacetime curvature. This signal provides a unique window into the entangled dynamics of space and time, offering insights into the fundamental nature of black hole mergers.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Final Mass | 1.18 × 10³² kg (59.4 M☉) |
| Mass Loss | 6 × 10³⁰ kg (3 M☉) |
| Final Spin | 0.69 |
| Merger Time | ~0.18 s (inspiral) |
The simulation confirms a mass loss of 3 M☉, consistent with the energy radiated during the merger, and a final spin of 0.69, reflecting the combined effect of initial spins and orbital angular momentum. The Kinetiverse model suggests that black hole mergers are governed by spatial acceleration and temporal energy transformations, providing a steady-state perspective on cosmic events. In an infinite universe with no early evolution, such mergers represent redistributive processes rather than evolutionary milestones, aligning with the eternal galactic structures hypothesis.
