I haven't seen a single Starmaker post disparaging the gravitational 
wave discovery. Maybe he posted one but didn't crosspost to sf.written, 
which is where I see his posts. Even if that's the case, I'm still 
disappointed he didn't post it here.

Come on, man. I need my Starmaker fix!

I can step in and give you a contrary view for you to shoot down - I 
think it's been over-hyped. Huge efforts have produced a tour-de-force 
of precision engineering, which can just about detect enough to show 
that gravitational waves do in fact exist, confirming something we 
thought we already knew. I'm not holding my breath for actual new 
information coming out of this any time soon, and I'd be more impressed 
if somebody was saying "but there's something not quite right we don't 
understand yet". (although The Economist magazine hopes that 
observations of gravitational waves might allow us to observe more 
extreme events where relativity as currently understood break down - so 
maybe I am too pessimistic.)

This is being worked on, scientists would in many way LOVE to detect
something unexpected because that would give them something to "tug"
on. Just because the first ever observation looks roughly standard
doesn't mean there isn't details or uncommon features to find with
more data.

The biggest disappointment with the Higgs detection was how "standard"
it was, though possible anomalies may now be showing up there finally
but it's still very tentive.

LIGO detected this event just weeks after starting up after their
major upgrade!, they're now doing further upgrades between each run
and I wouldn't rule out that there might be more events in the aLIGO
run 01 that they've not had time to analyse fully yet.

Also, Virgo (the other big gravitational wave detector) is just coming
up after their big upgrade which will give more "eyes".

That's one of the reasons why they're being studied.

If they HADN'T detected something at either LIGO or Virgo within a few
years after these upgrades, that alone might well have been a big clue
that something was off with the theories!

It's not always what you detect, sometimes what you DON'T detect is at
least as important.


Looking further down the line, the "LISA Pathfinder" satellite went up
in December 2015 to test a number of techologies. This is part of the
development plan for the eLISA gravity wave detector (using three
satellites).

eLISA IS currently scheduled for pretty far in the future (~2034) but
if SpaceX pushes launch prices down I wouldn't be surprised if that
moves forward. eLISA would be sensitive to a much wider range of
phenomenes due to much longer legs (1 million kilometer each).

Thanks - I should have spotted that point.

Negative results are still results, and we often learn more from 
failures than from successes.

That's almost exactly what my son the physicist said last night on
Skype.

That's the thing in physics--our model predicts.  What we look for is a 
prediction that it makes that is clearly and unambiguously wrong.  
That's how progress is made and Nobels collected.

But to find the prediction that is wrong, we have to test all the 
predictions, and if it's a decent model then most of the time it's going 
to be right.

On the other hand, we now have another type of astronomical instrument--
how useful it will become it is far far too soon to tell.

My favorite line so far from "Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen" (I am about 3/4ths of the way through it) is just a throw-away. Walking past a lab, the character (and I don't even remember who, but suspect it's Jole) hears 

[first voice, wailing ] "What have you done to my worms?"
[second voice] "Huh, that's weird. . ."

I sense a scientific breakthrough in the offing.

Well, people got excited when, after spending a lot of money, someone confirmed 
the prediction that the Moon was a place people could stand on, and where 
things would fall locally downwards if you dropped them.

Despite the fact that none of those things came as a surprise.

Of course, they also took rock samples that _did_ tell us lots of things we 
didn't already know about such matters as the origin of the Solar System.

So it _is_ true that actually observing gravitational waves isn't in itself 
_productive_ of new physics, but even so, it's still an important watershed 
moment; they have now become somewhat more "real" than when our best evidence 
for them was the indirect evidence of pulsar decays.

In the long run, of course, as has been noted, gravitational waves will be a 
new tool for observing the Universe.

No.  The general excitement was over the fact that we were
actually able to get there, not the confirmation of that
prediction.

On BBC's "Science Hour" there were people talking about
testing theories and models of neutron stars and black holes
now that an instrument exists to /watch/ them interact.
And that the black hole observation has already been compared
to the models - and agrees with them, which is satisfying 
or not.

It's all in the Whoop just as the secrets of the ansible
are in the Dirac "Beep".

You missed it.  Title, "Whoop."
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.arts.sf.written/iM5HXReyQ9Y>

There isn't the usual blank-verse commentary - if you don't 
count the subject line itself.

Yes, I did miss that. Title was too vague.

Very anemic on his part. Come on man, if you're going to be an 
anti-science head-in-the-sand Luddite, put a little effort into it.

Isn't  rec.arts.sf.written anti-science???? ...with a little effort into
it.

I obviously am not Starmaker.

However, back in 2013 I posted to my blog an allusion to an alternate theory, which I hope to explain in more detail this coming summer.

Anyway, you might want to take a look at what's been written so far.

In the year 2013 I mentioned "Electorgravity"...but America wasn't ready for it.


Gravity sometime acts like a wave, gravity somes acts like a particle.



I don't have time for 'Science' to catch up with me...


I don't disparage that which I already discovered..

You like sf. did you read the story about the girl looking for her cat and finds a time machine in the basment?

...most people don't understand the relationship between electricity and gravity.


both act like charges..like light waves..photons.

Light comes from gravity...not the sun.


The sun maunfactures light, but gets it source from gravity.

Gravity keep the speed of light from going faster than the speed of light.


If an apple hits you on the head, what controls the speed of the apple from the tree to your head? The same thing that controls the speed of light, right?

Starfaker you are seriously an idiot. Have you been stealing "theories" 
from Glazier again?
