Rumours swell over new kind of gravitational-wave sighting

I absolutely saw one the other day. Honest to Obama.
Clients at the grass stores were heard discussing riding it over the weekend...

I’ve always understood that the force of gravity being based on distance between masses is always in effect between all bodies and it is merely the magnitude that changes as they get closer/farther apart. It’s always there but at negligible amounts.

Two bodies placed in a vacuum with not other forces would eventually collapse together.

Reminds me of the scientist who said gravitational forces travel much faster than the speed of light.

I donno.

Those are already covered, maybe, by the Gravity Enhanced tag. Or maybe it’s Gravity Challenged? Everything’s a challenge, you know.

But the Gravity Waveians will want to believe they were produced, as individuals, by a collision between 2 massive stellar objects.

So, two out to pasture Hollyweirdos who’ve gone Roger Moore in their diet makes babies. Those would be Gravity Wavians?
