Those are some foul lines. You’d need some speedy outfielders in that ballpark.
No one is "befuddled" by it. It is as well understood as the fact that the earth is round.
What they're doing is called research -- they don't merely rely on received opinion about what is and is not possible.
General Relativity requires the postulation of “dark matter” and “dark energy” to make it work at galactic distances.
I visited the site one day, as part of my regular duties, and noted that the researchers had bolted a license plate to the side of the case (not the detector itself). The head researcher told me, with a straight face, that this was the only licensed gravity detector in the State of Maryland.
I can’t make any Uranus jokes about this photo. I got nothin’.
Take a look. Tell me what you think. http://public.fh-wolfenbuettel.de/~haeuser/research/STAIFLogNo021.pdf
Here is another paper on the subject: http://www.hpcc-space.de/publications/documents/ExtendedHeimTheory.pdf
Thanks, Fred, that’s very helpful.
It seems to me that Gravitational Waves should be fairly easy to detect..........................
They should just line up a bunch of apples, worked for Newton...
Seems to me that you could measure the absorption lines of a certain element in a star’s spectrograph, via a satellite in constant optical contact with that star, 24 / 7 / 365, then measure the amount of red or blue shift, indicating that star’s direction of movement, either toward or away from the observer. It should be constant, or nearly so.
Then, monitor that star’s spectrum constantly for a long period of time, and check to see if that absorption line moves, either way, up or down the spectrum. That would indicate that a gravity wave had passed between the star and the observer satellite, stretching then contracting the fabric of space-time between............................
Sound okay?..................
