The LIGO experiment that everyone is falling all over themselves about, 
is looking at wiggles so tiny that any decent remote viewer ought to be 
able to produce a "black hole collision" any time they want by just 
directing a little telekinesis that way!

too funny!

Why bother to determine physical constants to eight decimal places?

Heck.  Three decimal places should be enough for everybody.

The answer son, is "because they are there".

Why would you say something like this?

I'll let you figure it out.

If you provide a reasonably correct answer within 48 hours
you'll receive a nice prize.

OK, so maybe you say such things for no real reason at all, just to see 
what kind of responses you get. Do I get a prize?

The OP seems to claim that the minuteness of the GW effect renders
it insignificant.

But if the 10th decimal point, and more, of a physical constant is
considered highly significant then so too is the very small GW effect.

No.  You get nothing.

BJ and Bert have this in common. They have no idea of the accuracy needed in modern physics. They take the attitude of "close enough for government work" which is the hallmark of their lives, then interpolate that to believe that *everyone* operates in their sloppy manner.

That's why all their 'science' has given the world are ghosts and unfounded rumors of free energy machines

if there were "free energy machines", they would be for sale on ebay.

ditto with "ghosts".

If the GOP Mafia Godfather farted and LIGO wiggled they jump for joy."We have detected gravity waves" Its a given. TreBert

when you hear a fart its a wave. Deep fart longer wave.Stinky fart longer wave. Only LIGO can detect a very short wave fart. For that reason it was worth every penny.  TreBert
