Here is the information on this tweet that made some ripples (no pun intended) ;):
Earlier today, well-known American theoretical physicist Laurence Kraus tweeted that the results of a recent experiment looking for gravitational waves have finally been peer-reviewed and we just might have the first direct evidence that these light-speed ripples in the Universe actually exist.
If it turns out that we really do have definitive evidence that gravitational waves exist – the results of the study have not yet been released to the public – we’re looking at Nobel Prize-worthy stuff, but the team behind the experiment is urging everybody to be patient and not to jump to conclusions just yet, despite what’s going on in your Twitter feed.
What do you think? Will he have a visual to show everyone? What could he possibly have seen?
And check out this video on a lecture about Einstein’s gravity waves theory. We will be posting updates as well from the tweet.
thanks to sciencealert.com for the great info
Or is the earths mass simply displacing space/time … causing an encapsulating pressure … One would think this would repel objects from each other rather than attract them … However … Cheerios gayher on the surface of a bowl of milk … Imagine 3 dimensional surface tension if you can … Photons DO NOT HAVE MASS … The star was visible because the suns mass was bending space/time around it … Along with the photons emitted from it… if photons had mass the speed of light could not be constant… for one the photons would travel slower until escaping the gravitational pull of their own source … If gravity was indeed what we as affecting the path of the light
My dog fetches sticks. SHOCKING!
When mass is added to space it causes a vibration creating a gravitational wave. The pressure in a 3d model would attract objects. Same example of the bed sheet model, the dip the mass causes would create an attractive force. Gravity isnt a force and only affects the measurement of distance. It says which path is the shortest and thats the path light takes.
Are you saying this as an alternate theory cuz it sounds like this is what scientist already says happens
I’m just trying to create progress … Encourage thinking about everything … I keep hearing ” gravity is the number one driving force in the universe ” .. I’m looking forward to a day when we all agree …. Gravity doesn’t exist .
Gravity exists.
