Hi Moises and FIS colleagues. The gravity wave that was detected last Sept informed us of the event of two black holes colliding 1.3 billion years ago - we learned how much energy was released which was approximately the 3 times the mass of the sum times c squared. We also learned that the event

Dear FISers. Yesterday LIGO ( Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) announced, for the first time, the detection of Gravitational Waves predicted by Einstein 100 years ago. Wouldn't be Gravitational Waves a good discussion in FIS? We all know that regular waves can carry information
