Wasn't the trigger for all of these expensive gravity wave detection systems based upon a single individual with massive aluminum cylinders and piezoelectric sensors? His results were determined to be false or falsified?
If that is true then why do we spend huge amounts of money for elaborate systems and absolutely no evidence any of them may work?
I'll tell you all something that may explain why I don't elaborate on my basis for my interest in GroundLoop's project.....
More than enough preliminary work and discussion has already taken place in a far more formal atmosphere than here. I do not and probably never will feel the need to start the normal fiasco of post bombing, name calling, insults and attempted degradation by the usual sources here and on other 'less professional' forums.
As we can see, for a few Science is more a philosophy than the tool it should be. For others, it is simply a religion and woe be the blasphemers!
To me, laying out a multibillion dollar set of lasers and mirrors with the beams along the same plane and none normal to the Earth's surface is just plain stupid. The height of the stupidity is the gargantuan size of these practical jokes. Why can't these fools understand that the laser beam is nothing more than an adjunct to the real gravity wave sensor - The Earth.
Don't get me wrong. I don't disagree with the purpose and expectations of the laser beams. Neither do the people performing the same tests with equipment that would fit in a small garage.
Don't expect them to publish their work very soon. The last attempt collected nothing but denial without cause from the likes of some here.
The so-called 'real scientists' can continue with trying to build massive sensors capable of tuning into the upper terahertz region when the wave isn't even transverse. I'm sure these bastards are pocketing plenty of money in the process. What difference does it make if some small group of 'ignorants' look to some like they are trying to take money or the real thieves rip enough money to feed most of the third world with ridiculously idiotic projects when they have already been shown such is not required.
You want to know the real reason why the latest satellite gravity wave project stopped in its tracks?
Investigate yourselves. I doubt any text or link I provide would be considered trustworthy by some. I'm just an ignorant
Oh! I forgot....
I haven't seen enough data to continue the effort of building a proof for the animate existence of one thought to be an individual. My 'best guess' is it is nothing but a later version of 'Elisa' from the TRS-80 days. It was fun talking to her too.... for about 10 seconds.
