Yeah, the old boys accomplished some amazing things with pure mind power. Newton and Einstein being the two most notable examples. I was able to apply Newton's stuff reasonably well, but damn me if I can imagine the leaps of reasoning he used to come up with the concepts of calculus. But Einstein's stuff... well, that kind of math is so far beyond my ken it's just unfathomable.

Newton invented Calculus on a dare.... Scottish food was invented on a dare too... That may be true, but eating it constituted a bigger dare.

They are like radio waves, which are traveling strengthenings/weakenings in a electric field. I savvy RF. Thanks. AM, not FM? Ed

Very cool! If there are waves,then there are potential crests where gravity folds back over itself. If gravitational waves can be stretched,they can also be compressed. If they can be compressed,you can cross the space between the crests much easier, using gravity itself as propulsion. Since gravity waves travel at the speed of light, you then can, theoretically, travel faster than light by jumping from crest to crest. Identifying the source of a gravity wave would mean predictablilty to the jumps as well. Hawkings still hasn't caught up with Einstein yet.  Ed These aren't like water waves. And I was just getting ready to wax my gravity surfboard

She said something similar: "Gravity hadn't been invented yet!" This is highly probable. Gravity gets stronger as one gets older. If you don't believe that, you ain't old enough yet. That and the fact that dropped things always roll under something, are common laws to older folk. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

We don't get our heads up our ass nearly as often as when we were younger. And my brain seems to have left the head of my pecker and returned to my cranium.

That faint rising tone, physicists say, is the first direct evidence of gravitational waves, the ripples in the fabric of space-time that Einstein predicted a century ago (Listen to it here.). And it is a ringing (pun intended) confirmation of the nature of black holes, the bottomless gravitational pits from which not even light can escape, which were the most foreboding (and unwelcome) part of his theory. So we have scientific information showing black holes have so much gravity light can't even escape. With that I ask, How did a singularity inflate and expand when all the black holes in the whole universe were there? To believe that requires blind faith in the unseen and untestable. kinda like the same blind faith in religion is it not?

yes ringman and the earth is only around 6000 yrs old cause some bible scholars who tallied up all the math said so back when............. and people with faith explain it as those individual years being equal to thousands of years in comparison still waiting on that picture calendar/timeline discussed many months ago that you said explains all this

Yes. I thought I felt a couple ripples the other evening, and Einstein instantly came to mind.
I read layman versions of his material, and I still can't even begin to understand it.

Agreed. I love to read popular science articles, but like chick flicks, the logic eludes me more often than not.

OK, I was just going on the graphics on the video attached to the story.
Out of curiosity, if they aren't waves as we know of them, what form do they take?
Ed Waves only appear 2 dimensional when on paper or on screen. Actual broadcast, if you could see it, looks like a coil spring... from our perspective. Back off a ways and watch and it probably looks expanding helical. Then you have to take in the 4th dimension.... and entropy. Here's the weird part. Matter can and does travel faster than (our perceived) speed of light. Imagine explosions so large that black holes are turned inside out blasting light, matter and energy half way across the known universe in a matter of split seconds. 186,282 miles per second... pfft. That's a snails pace.

Sauer200, So are fairy tales about a magician in the sky. There are only two ways to look at how the universe came to be. It came to be by the Power of and Omnipotent or it didn't. If it didn't, how did it come to be?

BOWSINGER, Imaginations are critical for seekers of Truth. Or it could be the result of some one actually doing scientific research and investigation.
