  1. Gravity Waves

    Why what?
  2. Gravity Waves

    The density of your weighty text makes tons of avoirdupois.
  3. Gravity Waves

    I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation.
  4. Is the earth round/spherical?

    That was photons not protons.
  5. What are you eating?

    There's nothing like a healthy diet. And that's nothing like one.
  6. Is the earth round/spherical?

    You want to reintroduce the aether? Some other findings support this - like galactic spin and dark matter suggest some kind of medium I think.
  7. Is the earth round/spherical?

    I must admit I haven't watched the vids - are they by someone sensible?
  8. Is the earth round/spherical?

    Gravitons. The wave particle duality is not really a duality. Light, gravity and so on as forces behave paradoxically 'as if' they are particles and also waves.
  9. Is the earth round/spherical?

    An apple pie perhaps? This would make it both flat and apple.
  10. Is the earth round/spherical?

    What type of apple is it?
  11. My favourite colour is rancid sepia. My birthstone is millstone grit. My flower is the petunia. My birth-sign the cuspal earwig and thunder-horse. My music is the complete works of Justin Beiber.
  12. Of course not - it's raining it would be ruined!
  13. Hi, I am wearing a pinstripe suit, bowler hat and have a folded copy of the Times. I am taking cold showers regularly. I have indoor plumbing. It's raining.
  14. Ok I'm prepared to post my real life pic also ...

    Very sad news. Rest in peace Susan.
  16. quite a insecure complex

    Yes that's some picture you painted there.
  17. quite a insecure complex

    clamp down mercilessly? Yikes. Easier - just look for a woman with very small hands.
  18. Gravity Waves

    When gravity waves ... should we all wave back? Or just be cool and say 'heavy man!'

    I completely agree that science operates within a set paradigm of the sole reality being a physical objective universe. However the cutting edge of this same science can challenge even that view. I think in a way that is why this type of experimental confirmation is part of a general need for self discovery. It was not that long ago that Einstein's General Relativity was hugely controversial - but is now becoming (or is) part of the standard model.

    Well as regards the Egyptians they lasted another nearly 3000 years of intact culture (till the Christians spoiled it). Stonehenge site was in use from mesolithic to the early centuries AD. So some success there. But yes, I am sure there guys like you grumbling away through all that time

    “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” I'm almost speechless at this dismal shoe gazing by both Karl and Nickolai. I would argue that it is essential to the well being of mankind that we gain greater and greater understanding of the universe. I think this experiment is a useful step towards confirming our best theories about the nature of space/time. Odd that people communicating over the internet via computers cannot understand this - perhaps you should return to scratching on slates.
