synchronicity going on just prior to the merger?
12:03
This tells us a lot about the remnant black hole, so the black hole which is formed at the end of everything.
12:08
And this is also why this direct wave is so powerful because you're right, before the merger, there's all of this complicated physics going on.
12:16
You know, are they spinning in the same direction? How heavy are they, one compared to the other? Et cetera.
12:21
There's a lot of different parameters.
12:23
Whereas this direct wave is actually extremely simple in the sense of it only depends on these two very simple properties.
12:30
And so this is also what makes the direct wave so interesting in that it reveals a lot of insight into the remnant black hole's horizon physics.
14:01
What can we still learn from them?
13:46
And what does that tell you about the physics of the merger itself? Are the event horizons moving in the same direction? Is the black hole spinning in the s- Is the singularity spinning in the same direction, or are they in opposite directions, or can they be in any way at all? Is there some sort of synchronicity going on just prior to the merger?

16:04
Hmm.
16:05
So one thing I guess is, at the end of the day, black holes are remarkably simple objects.
8:05
Yeah.
8:06
And it's a tricky one.
8:07
I think that vitamin A has, is sort of a syn- um, is a retinoid derivative anyway, and so I think it in itself has the ability to help regulate the epidermal turnover.
8:20
So one of the classic symptoms of, of hypovitaminosis A was this kind of seborrheic coat that you'd see, and sometimes it would be on the pinna margins, sometimes it would be over the coat.
8:29
And with that, um, they would respond quite well to, to vitamin A supplementation.
8:35
But I do wonder whether some of these nutritional dermatoses that would respond quite well to nutritional supplementation, whether it's with a vitamin or a certain mineral, could be phenotypes of other diseases that we just weren't really sure of at the time, but they just happened to respond.
8:50
So I see less and less, and I'm not sure whether this is your experience these days, I've seen less and less hypovitaminosis A over the years, and that could just be because we're identifying other underlying causes, like sort of an, an allergic or a Malassezia overgrowth that, that potentially sort of with the, uh, the improvement of their barrier that vitamin A sort of provided, maybe we're, we're kind of seeing less of that now.
10:23
Is that another kind of deficiency that's out there?
