I read it. It is very new theory but interesting. Query, What is on the other side of the speed of light? I know , Einstein theorizes time slows but that has never been proven. 186,000 miles per second seems to me to be an arbitrary barrier. What if there is a dimension on the other side?

So... my exercise trampoline.... not a good thing?

(It's a joke boy, a funny!)

Now if someone who explain to me exactly what this means I would be grateful.

It sounds like these waves might be common and we just didn't see them before?

Or are then incredibly rare and we should get ready for the end of it all?

I don’t understand why this is significant so it must mean nothing.

So that means there is another universe outside this one right?

Change in one particle affects change in the other entwined particle, no matter how far apart that they have been spaced.

Faster than the speed of light.
