I don't really disagree with research, but I do disagree with the assertion that it would be of much use in astronomy. Noone could know how frequently these waves are generated.

It is possible that the frequency of waves is low enough that discreet and meaningful wave forms can be measured but what if it is like trying to discern raindrop impacts in a lake with the added complexity of a third dimension? It then becomes a newshour "horror story" about the dangers of existing as the "big one" could come anyday.

Nevertheless I agree it could be very useful. Being able to track gravitational waves could be instrumental in tracking or monitoring local temporal, nuclear or high energy events or activities in addition to enhance our understanding of gravity itself. Further we could use such data to develop artificial gravity and anti-gravity.

Gravity waves are common like light waves. The problem detecting them is that gravity as a potential field is much weaker, billionths, than electric potential fields. Therefore . . . the effects of gravity waves should be minuscule. It is not surprising that detecting such weak waves is not easy, is it?
