Gravity Meters in use every day!

There has been no announcement, no peer review or publication of the findings - all typically important steps in the process of releasing reliable and verifiable scientific research.
Instead, a message on Twitter from an Arizona State University cosmologist, Lawrence Krauss, has sparked a firestorm of speculation and excitement.
Krauss does not work with the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory, or LIGO, which is searching for ripples in the fabric of space and time.
But he tweeted on Monday about the apparent shoring up of rumor he'd heard some months ago, that LIGO scientists were writing up a paper on gravitational waves they had discovered using US-based detectors.
"My earlier rumor about LIGO has been confirmed by independent sources. Stay tuned! Gravitational waves may have been discovered!! Exciting," Krauss tweeted.
His message has since between retweeted 1,800 times.

Yes, there are secret life science compartments along those mile-long vacuum tunnels.
Rat tail in the cave.
Now where did I hear that before? Oh, yeah. Post #23.
Very interesting with regards to other recent physics discoveries.
Yes. The first indication was when Guam tipped over...
Mark for later research of book series. Who’s the author?
Didn’t see it or many of the other posts till you mentioned yours.
One of many that have been keeping interest in the subject alive:

That’s heavy
It is impossible to control something if you cannot detect or measure it.
Once they can detect and/or measure gravity waves, then they can be explored further for control.
The identification of actual gravity waves would be a major step in physics.
Obama has just written an executive order nullifying the Law of Gravity. Next week, he will write one making Pi equal to 3, and define all circles to be squared, and globes to be cubes. After all he has a phone and a pen, he can do anything.
It would nicely explain how some days, time seems to fly right by, while other days, it seems to linger,...just riding the gravity wave.
LOL! I was telling some guy I met about the use of gravity measurements. He pulled a pen out of his pocket and dropped it. “Like that?”
I believe it. The phrasing just sounded so similar. But that's probably because the Wiki source I excerpted probably got it from the same Nature magazine piece you referenced.
Actually not - it is them speeding up trying to flee the neighborhood - this galaxy. They learned long ago that behind the dust our galactic core - in the distant past - swallowed or created another black hole which is now approaching the one at the center. When the two touch, the big one will swallow the little one and explode in a burst of radiation which will sterilize the galaxy.
Smart money is leaving for Andromeda, while others are going for the long haul to the Virgo galactic cluster. The waves being detected are from their pulsed gravity drives gaining traction in higher dimensions.
Unfortunately, none of them are able to stop and rescue us (as much as the bleeding heats among them want to) as there just isn’t enough time to both rescue and escape.
The wave front will arrive at this solar system in a decade or two ...
Have you seen anymore about that CRB and galactic dust problem? I haven’t been paying much attention lately to see if they could revive the experiment.
CRB and galactic dust problem?
Try not to get too much exposure to Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO). It is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.
Bicep2 was going to receive some help to see if they could deal with the confounding factor of the IR reddening shift due to galactic dust when calculating to detect gravitational waves.
