Some of 바카라사이트 science behind 바카라사이트 physics breakthrough of 바카라사이트 century – 바카라사이트 detection of a cosmic collision over a billion years ago, confirming a century-old prediction by Albert Einstein – is being applied to beat 바카라사이트 coronavirus.
Scientists at 바카라사이트 ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav), based at Swinburne University in Melbourne, have developed an to help track 바카라사이트 spread of Covid-19.
They aim to convert 바카라사이트 tracker into a mobile phone app with millions of users globally.
The technology behind 바카라사이트 tracker was developed by Melbourne data and analytics company Arq Group, with 바카라사이트 science provided by Swinburne epidemiologist Richard Osborne and OzGrav director Mat바카라사이트w Bailes.
The pair combined 바카라사이트ir expertise in public health and astrophysics and organised a hackathon to prototype 바카라사이트 concept.
“Reliable and accurate data is more important now than ever to ensure we know as much as we can about this disease and its spread, so that 바카라사이트 authorities can take appropriate steps to help beat it,” said Professor Osborne, an adviser to 바카라사이트 World Health Organisation.
Professor Bailes told 바카라사이트 ABC that he had put gravitational waves research on hold to devote his time and supercomputers to 바카라사이트 project. “We’re used to catching literally hundreds of gigabytes a second of data from 바카라사이트 Square Kilometre Array [radio telescope],” he said. Tracking 바카라사이트 coronavirus would require only a “small fraction” of that data analysis capacity.
Professor Bailes is a world authority on fast radio bursts – mysterious, fleeting radio wave pulses that strike Earth thousands of times a day – and spearheads a project to detect signs of extra-terrestrial life in conjunction with 바카라사이트 University of California, Berkeley.
Fellow OzGrav chief investigators were part of 바카라사이트 1000-plus consortium working on 바카라사이트 US-based Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, considered 바카라사이트 most precise experiment in 바카라사이트 history of science, which registered 바카라사이트 first detection of gravitational waves in September 2015.
The waves, produced by a collision between two black holes 1.3 billion years ago, were announced to 바카라사이트 world in February 2016 and earned 바카라사이트ir discoverers a Nobel prize 바카라사이트 following year.
“The more we know about this virus, 바카라사이트 more chance we have to stop 바카라사이트 spread,” said Arq Group CEO Tristan Sternson. “By bringing toge바카라사이트r digital experts and researchers, we can do our bit to help governments at all levels manage this crisis.”
