Someone is rewriting the law of gravity?

Obama probably. He rewrote every other law.

No, not re-writing the law of gravity.

Clearly a by-product of alien ‘braking’ technology from the incoming star ships...

Read a scifi book about this, fun stuff...

Gravitational wave

In physics, gravitational waves are ripples in the curvature of space-time which propagate as waves, traveling outward from the source.

Predicted in 1916[1][2] by Albert Einstein on the basis of his theory of general relativity,[3][4] gravitational waves theoretically transport energy as gravitational radiation.

Sources of detectable gravitational waves could possibly include binary star systems composed of white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. The existence of gravitational waves is a possible consequence of the Lorentz invariance of general relativity since it brings the concept of a limiting speed of propagation of the physical interactions with it. Gravitational waves cannot exist in the Newtonian theory of gravitation, in which physical interactions propagate at infinite speed.

Although gravitational radiation has not been directly detected, there is indirect evidence for its existence.[5] For example, the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for measurements of the Hulse-Taylor binary system which suggest that gravitational waves are more than a theoretical concept. Various gravitational-wave detectors are currently under construction or are in operation, such as Advanced LIGO which began observations in September 2015.[6]

On 17 March 2014, astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics erroneously claimed that they had detected and produced "the first direct image of gravitational waves across the primordial sky" within the cosmic microwave background, providing flawed evidence for inflation and the Big Bang.[5][7][8][9][10][11]

On 19 June 2014, lowered confidence in confirming the cosmic inflation findings was reported[12][13][14] and on 19 September 2014, a further reduction in confidence was reported.[15][16] On 30 January 2015, even less confidence yet was reported;[17][18] Nature went as far as publishing a news article entitled "Gravitational waves discovery now officially dead".[19]
