Einstein was right again ..Gravitational Waves..

[Vipersan]

Probably one of the best discoveries in my lifetime..
Finally Gravitational waves detected ...from the past collision of 2 black holes..
Predicted by Einstein ...but he never thought we would EVER detect them ..
Gravitational waves: breakthrough discovery after two centuries of expectation

How cool is that !!!

Just seen the news report and I have to agree; it's simply stupendous. Apparently there is still some scope for improving the sensitivity so more to come.

Fantastic! I don´t understand all the physics involved, but figure this is a great leap forward in our understanding of the universe and particle physics itself.

I can hear Jean-Luc Picard now, raise shields against the gravimetric distortion field!

Well that explains our Universe how about the rest of the Universes ?
Einstein's gravitational waves found at last

Yep - though I always question any such big discoveries being a result of confirmation biases...

I remember Rutherford and Bohr (Not personally, of course!): Simpler times when we only had Protons, Neutrons and Electrons to think about. Maybe the odd drop of Ectoplasm to satisfy the curious.

I prefer absinthe myself.

Yes, I remember those early models of Acorn computers from the early 80s.
Never saw an Ectoplasm, though. Was that one of the Ghost Digital Ltd computers?

Now undergoing tests to become another reliable detector.

Almost three times the gain of the Arecibo, if built correctly.

Won´t beat a GI 212E on a 60cm dish though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
