This time it seems they nailed it for real: gravitational waves - Page 3

I find it very interesting in what response I get about this Major Science discovery.

Skybird started a thread about and some of us replied

I made a statement(in Danish) on my wall, about this discovery and a link-NO one of my friends have made any comments.

If i made political or religious comment they surely would response-

Makes one wonder.

If it bleeds, it leads.

After a couple of beers (when I always get my best ideas), I just really realised how amazing this all is. My god.... anyone got more beer?

What if you got two beers and rotated them around each other...

Maybe that's the waves that causes the floor to move after the consumption of varying amounts of alcohol?

You know the thought experiment when scientists said what woul happen of the sun simply vanished, would Eart leave orbit imidiately or continue to orbit for another 8 min and this discovery proves that the Earth would continue on its orbit for another 8min, since gravity travels with the speed of light.

But gravity waves are caused by super massive objects making riples in the fabric of space like on a canvas.

If the sun simply vanished for any far fetched sci-fi reason, the space that was once bent by the mass of our star would spring back and the Earth would be ripped apart by these ripples. After 8 minutes.
I'm guessing.

You need more beer.

Interesting article on what would happen if the sun suddenly disappeared.

Yes, just put two mega-sun sized black holes in an engine nacelle and see what happens. I say you get warped into one of the black holes. It's warp drive, but maybe not exactly as intended.

We are now on a wave length I can relate to!

I meant: now we know that space can ''easily'' contract and expand.
Now we only need a reliable power source (a few gaxillion watts per second) and a way to warp drive is just one invention away

I'll contribute 1 3000mAh 50C 3P lithium polymer battery!

Humanity will forever remember your contribution as we take our first steps into outer space

To stay in science and space-topic

It's not a question about if, but When we will have warp drive or similar.
