I hope you're not forgetting about that one time where I asked your opinion on this type of model, and you thought it was a good question --...
None of that matters Alphanumeric, it's just extra crap that has absolutely nothing to do with the Earth. You shouldn't have corrected me in the...
OK, I said that orbits cause gravitational waves. Why would you try to correct me on this and call me a pathetic fraud when it's obviously true?...
Exactly. The binary stars PSR 1913+16 are taken to emit gravitational waves away from the gravitational barycentre because the metric is changing...
Dear Dr. Misner, I have been reading about gravitational waves in your MTW book. During a discussion with someone, they informed me that the...
OK, you have obviously not read this book. If you had, it wouldn't be on your s*** list. :)
paulfr, as James R mentions, it's all relative to your opinion. However, if you want to get ultra-technical, it's the imparting of momentum that...
http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn13938-gravity-probe-b-scores-f-in-nasa-review.html I thought you'd like this one Reiku. :)
Sorry draqon. The notes are temporarily at http://cavekitty-com.ice9-networks.com/sr_rde.pdf I could not upload them as an attachment for some...
Nevermind. Can't upload PDF files, always errors out.
Suspense. If I remember correctly, they did the same thing for the Bullet Cluster dark matter lensing announcement a couple of years ago.
Hrmm... X-rays and ground based observations. I'm thinking either black hole at the centre of the galaxy (Seyfert, 1940's), or dark matter...
Master Yoda says that there's a difference between trying and doing. :) I was only inferring that they were trying, and what they actually did is...
Ben is right. I believe that the DAMA-LIBRA project was trying to detect dark matter particles through collisions caused by the weak nuclear...
I find point 2 to be questionable. Most English translations contain the sentence: "We will raise this conjecture (the purport of which will...
Sorry about that. I got tripped up by the "multiple images" part and went charging ahead without much further thought.
This sounds very much like the ideas of Luminet: http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/18368
I think that the beauty lies in its diversity and complexity. Nice!
I thought this happened a long while ago? I remember the press about this a year or two back. Everyone thought the guy was nuts for proposing the...
Absolutely interested. I've been going through Zwiebach's book and would love to have some other material to help solidify things in my mind. Much...
