Existance of Gravity Waves is Proven

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize for science on the subject of proving of gravity waves, which apparently till now had only been a well accepted theory.  Here is more on the subject.  The physics world awoke to news of new Nobel Prize recipients today (Oct. 3). The Nobel committee awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in physics to the three scientists who discovered gravitational waves. Half of the prize will go to physicist Rainer Weiss of MIT, with the other half split by physicists Barry Barish and Kip Thorne of Caltech. The three scientists founded the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, (LIGO), which first detected gravitational waves in 2015.

Gravitational waves are predicted by Einstein's Theory of Relativity. When supermassive objects come together, like merging black holes, they create ripples in the structure of space-time. LIGO's two observatories each have two arms 2.48 miles (4 kilometers) long and arranged in an "L" shape. They use lasers to measure the changes in an arm's length caused by gravitational waves flexing and squeezing space-time itself as they pass through the detector.

The first gravitational wave detected in 2015 was the result of a collision 1.3 billion years ago, between two black holes that were 29 and 36 times more massive than the sun. However, the effects are nearly imperceptible. LIGO's detectors are sensitive to differences 10,000 times smaller than an atomic nucleus, according to a description on the facility's website.

Here’s my take on light waves.  In an Isaac Newton biography I watched on TV Newton said that gravity intensity varies with the square of the distance.  This is the same formula for propagation of light waves.  Light and gravity follow the same rules of ether travel, which we have discussed at length starting in the fall of 2009.  There is the “What you see is what you get” principle meaning that if you can't see a black hole you won’t be bothered by it.  There was a picture of two black holes next to each other but it turned out it was an "artist rendering" and not an actual photograph.  Black holes don’t gravitationally sneak up on you in the dark of night.  Of course black holes don’t have gradual “event horizons”.  You are either IN one or not in one.  But if two black holes collide with each other this would understandably cause wave phenomina because light waves can be observed with two light source as well as electronics media being either in or out of phase.  The big question is what frequency are gravity waves modulated it.  A “wave” normally needs some medium of propagation to propagate the energy.  Of course event horizons are interesting because when you look out in space you are looking back in time.  And if an object is traveling either toward or away from you faster than the speed of light you won’t see (observe) it, but it will still be there.  Dig Einstein’s grave up and he’ll agree with me on this topic. It’s called the theory of relativity – not the theory of the absolute.  Just remember that Einstein agrees with Newton before him that there is no place that can be said to be perfectly “stationary”.  There is no "stationary point in the center of the universe" or anywhere else any more than any other point can be called stationary or central.  

 I finally got the Norman Goldman show.   I don’t think “Refugee” is in any of my rock compilations.  I only found four Tom Petty songs.  I hope those looking found the two compilation references that I listed in the last posting.  I decided not to list all of the rock groups associated with those two planets I referred to because people reading this weren't listening to music in the sixties and would only be confused.  On Denelus IV it's the Troggs, Standels, the original Tommy James & the Shandels, Count 5, The Velvet Underground, and the Syndicate of Sound, very early Turtles, early Donavin and very early Grass Roots. .  On Aries G it's "Them", "Love", "The Music Machine" and "The Leaves" very early "Young Rascals" and early and mid "Paul Revere and the Raiders" and Buffy St Marie, of all people,   

MORE ON GUN CONTROL.  Norman said something about the second amendment that I never realized before.   There is nothing in the second amendment about whether the right to own a gun or to buy a gun.  Think about it.  Nowhere in the second amendment are there the words "Every citizen has the right to OWN a gun."  No they don't.  They have the right to "keep and bear arms".  Meaning they were issued a firearm as a consequence of their service to a "well regulated militia".  Thom Hartman once read the requirements for the issue of firearms.  Of course we'll all have to live like refugees now.  In the ninth amendment may I suggest one of the not enumerated rights is the "right not to be shot".  Think about it.  Mitch Mc Connell says now is not the time to discuss legislation "if any".  There's his answer right there.  How long should be wait.  It wasn't "time for those people's lives to end" if you were to take a poll of the people who were killed.  There isn't a better time to talk about gun control.  How long should be have to wait to express our free speech.  If you break up with your fiancee two days before the wedding and she breaks down and cries would you say "I don't think we need to emotionalize this event".  No.  Emotional expression takes many forms and we have the right to express the oppinion that "something needs to be done about all of these mass shootings."   Just remember 2018 is just a year away and vote your conscience next year when it comes to picking congressmen.  

It was the Gary and Shannon show including “draining the swamp”.  Days of our Lives started off.  But most of the hour was taken up with a police officer statement about Sunday night’s LV attack.  But he didn’t take that many questions but did a lot of extraneous talking not related to the actual crime.  I went out for a smoke break.  The weather not got above 75 degrees or so.  Gabby was here today and she was out with Phyllis in the morning and sitting by Jennifer’s door in the afternoon, where it was coolest.  I got a lemonade and a graham cracker from Rico.  Then I went out for a cigarette and came back up here and lay down briefly before getting in the money draw line.  It wasn’t too bad because people were spaced out.  Muffin sat in a chair and didn’t attempt to get in line.  I hadn’t shaved.  I gave Jennifer my check for $1050.00 and didn’t ask for any money.  Then I came back here and booted the computer but it took forever to get Google up.
