Observational evidence continues to confirm what Einstein theorized between 1905-1917.
To: Olog-hai
Still not one decent theory how gravity really works, where it comes from, or what it actually is.

Eisteins theories can be proved and don’t have to rely on scientific consensus or on my believing in science or on persecuting deniers. That’s because they are real science.

Too bad there wasn’t a way to harness that energy. What is the wavelength? I suspect that anything built by humans would be too small in comparison to the waves to not be stretched and compressed by the waves themselves.

Yep. Another so called theory that godless scientists are trying to ram down our throats!

General Relativity isn’t a decent theory?

Fred Sanford discovered the first Ripple.

Fred Sanford made the first discovery of ripple(s) way back in the 70’s...

Whoops! I am soooo slow typing with these 84-year-old fingers.

Very exciting, that’s for sure. Anytime you can put a new eye on the universe, you’re bound to learn things you didn’t know before.
In a sense, these gravitational wave “telescopes” are going to allow us to “see” inside black holes (because gravity is the only thing that can escape from a black hole). Well, that’s one explanation I saw, anyway... We’re seeing ripples generated by what is going on inside colliding black holes. And that’s going to tell us things about their interiors at the moment they merge that otherwise we would have no hope of detecting without this technology.
Who knows what we’ll find? I hope it’s something totally mind blowing!
To: dfwgator; Olog-hai
Ripples never come back. They do bounce or reflect however.
It is an interesting notion. Do gravitational waves bounce?
Light waves bounce. Neutrons, gamma rays, and radio waves bounce.
Why not gravitational waves.
And if you got a return (like from a radar ping) what would the return from a gravitational wave tell you about the object that it struck?

If you drink enough Ripple it will certainly come back up.
