Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Gravitational Waves Confirm Einstein's Theory

Not according to buck deer.

Since you are such a great scientific researcher, what are the fist and second derivatives of the equation of a line?

Maybe we're the science experiment of some advanced alien civilization. Maybe God is an alien, with super cool technology beyond our understanding but not omnipotent. I don't think thats the case, but its possible. Possibilities are not limited to what one person can understand,imagine or believe.

My old pappy used to always say "one should never bother to discuss linear equations when a circular argument will suffice".

xxclaro,



So then you agree with me.

I joked about that first year college.

"We're probably in a college lab class test tube or on a microscope slide and will be swept into the trash by mid afternoon."

Or some Grad student playing with a particle accelerator creating pocket universes inside mini-blackholes.

What happens when he turns it off?

It crosses the wheeler boundary and goes subatomic.

Then it's somebody else's problem.

Yea, but my wife doesn't like it when I pass the Wheeler boundary. She prefers a delayed absorption of the emission waves.

Thank you, sir!

I teach basic RF as part of my job.
From a monopole antenna, it takes the shape of a Horn Torus. There are some pretty detailed .gif images of the various forms RF takes.
I find this stuff fascinating and love to learn.

Gravitational waves are everywhere, just as electromagnetic waves are. Any mass, no how small, creates the waves when in motion.

And Einstein's theory of General Relativity has been experimentally confirmed so many times that these waves were a given.

What's new and important here is that we have built a device able to detect them. As soon as they stepped up the power of the device x 4, the waves were detected almost immediately.

Ringman,

-Was Jeebus a believer in then 10 string, 11 string or the 26 string version of String Theory?

-What did his pet velociraptor think about singularities?

-Where is heaven located and how long will it take to get there at the speed of light, on a T-Rex equipped with a scramjet engine that runs on blind faith, while preaching the good word?

-How many solar masses is the equivalent of the holy ghost's mass?

-How did humans survive the K–Pg extinction event that killed the dinosaurs?

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...

-How the fugg did Matthew Mcconaughey's character survive passing the event horizon of the black hole in "Interstellar" without being spaghettified? ...And you can't tell me it is just Hollywood!

Sorry Ben, another 'fire train wreck. More and more the norm it seems.

Well, they never disappoint me.

I still think that it's a way cool accomplishment and look forward to more exciting discoveries.

Science damnit!

Yes, very cool and a huge breakthrough. We know so little and have so much to learn...

d/dx y=mx+b
y=m

d/dx y=m
y=0

The slope, then 0, correct?

bigfish9684,

The only question that seemed even remotely serious is your fifth one.



The great dinosaur extinction was not total. There were pairs of each kind which survived. Of course the vast majority of all animals died as well as the vast majority of people. They died during the world wide flood of Noah's day. Even biologists discovered there was a major bottleneck in present animals. They reject the obvious, but do accept it happened.

Apparently the change in climate was too severe for most of the animals to survive. I read recently that 90% of all known species are not extinct.

Yep.
My wife is like that, too.
Prefers the gentle lapping waves against the beach front...

...until it's time for the pounding thrusts just before the incoming tide.

See.
It's all relative.
Theoretically speaking.

Your are correct.

You are also not Ringman, as evidenced by your ability to work this math equation.
