How cool is this? :)
How much of a step is it from being able to observe them to manipulating them?
Artificial gravity, FTL drives, might be right around the corner.

I'm afraid it will take several more decades before this application can be used to our benefit.

The nature of the GW's that will be detected are already "contaminated" by a particle called Venneutrino (a cousin of the neutrino, but which has less mass) It will not be until the discovery of Immeridium that "clean" waves can be detected and utilised.

You will be contacted by three "men" in black suits. If the phone rings, dont answer it.

You know this? How?

Wow, you know about a particle not predicted by the standard model. Which branch of advanced physics was used to predict this. How does it couple to gravitons and what are their properties, spin, mass, charge stuff like that.

Hot diggety! I thought it was element 115 that was needed for gravity manipulation. Obviously, as you know about immeridium, it has been discovered and you know its uses. Care to share your knowledge with everyone. You can also debunk the myths of element 115 while your at it.

I'm sorry but I made the whole thing up, please ignore this loon.

BTW.. 115 has nothing to do with Gravity, more base(water).

....and sinker

I'm sorry but I made the whole thing up, please ignore this loon.



Glad our little visit had its desired effect :)

I wrote about gravity waves a long time ago... everyone said I was crazy...
Haha... it happened again... :o
The crazy person is again the lucid one... :p

Haha... whatever...:eek:

Please provide a link to the thread which you wrote about gravity waves. A search reveals only this post. Perhaps you dreamt it and again confused your dreams with reality.

everyone said I was crazy...

True, but that opinion was derived from reading any one of your posts.

That was a long time ago (Q)...
I remember I talked about gravity waves when I talked about Black Holes, Gravastars and Solar Systems...

Please provide a link to that thread. If you did, the thread should be easy to find. So far, I cannot find anything.

I cannot find either.

conspiracy?

...maybe... :D:D:D

You want to make gravity waves?

Put your fist in the air and shake it; you just did!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but gravity waves are not going to lead to Artificial gravity or FTL or anything exotic like that.

Gravity waves do not mediate the gravitational field, they just transmit information about changes in the field. They bear the same realtionship to the Gravitational field as light has to the electromagnetic field. (The main difference is that gravity wave are about 10^40 times weaker than electromagnetic waves, which is why they are so hard to detect.)

To create 'artificial' gravity waves, (by means other than shaking an existing mass), you would already have to have a means of creating artificial gravity to start with.

There is work being done with an eye to shielding objects from gravity:

Doesnt seem to be getting a lot of respect though :)

"The NASA group suggested the link is a recently discovered, exotic form of energy, "zero-point fluctuations." This consists of minute particles that flicker in and out of existence in what we normally think of as empty space. "

Anybody know anything about zero-point fluctations?
