I tried to explain this so many times but still no one gets it. This is not a gravitational wave, IT IS A SOUNDWAVE from PERCUSSION...and if you could hear it up close and personal YOUR EARS WOULD EXPLODE FOLLOWED BY THE REST OF YOU. Sound moves the universe at every level and there is nowhere that doesn’t have zillions of things to slam into at speeds and force that are faster than the ears can hear and faster than than the eyes can see, faster than we have thus far found it possible to measure. It seems complicated but it isn’t. Just not up to the task right now.
Well, for the record, you told me about this one more than five years ago.
Maybe you can answer these:
1. Do Einstein’s equations allow a calculation of the magnitude of gravitational waves?
I suspect not but would like a confirmation if possible.
2. As far as I know, gravitational waves have never been detected and it hasn’t been for a lack of trying. As I recall Robert Forward built a huge aluminum cylinder in an early attempt at a Gravitational Wave detector. This was in the late 50’s. It was very sensitive since it was able to detect small motions in fraternities and sororities in the middle of the night. But alas, no gravity waves were detected.
Could it be that there really aren’t gravitational waves?
