[wsjt-devel] Gravitational waves

Hi all, This is my last post here for today, and it has little to do with WSJT-related software development. But its topic has occupied much of my time for the past ten days -- and it has made me feel as excited as a youngster with a new scientific toy! A few have asked offline if I would

Re: [wsjt-devel] Gravitational Waves

Hi Joe, Definitely a weak signal reception ! Like a jigsaw, every new piece making the picture clearer. All confirming each other. It must feel good to see it growing. Thanks for sharing. My original career path was Physics, although ultimately I did not follow it, science is still with me. I

Re: [wsjt-devel] Gravitational Waves

Is it "luck" or misinterpretation of what they are actually seeing? There's an implied assumption in the paper that they are seeing gravity waves as though there is no possible other explanation. I'm reminded of what happened in the 80's when universities were claiming galactic gamma sources but

Hey, this guy is funny. Do you have a lot like him on the list? Putting them on a scene could make a good show... By the way, Thanks for the links Joe. I think many of the list subscribers will find them interesting. Our common passion for scientific discoveries and sharing knowledge is what

Re: [wsjt-devel] Gravitational Waves

Joe, You are a little late to this party, as usual. A lot of the discussion about this phenomena, which doesn't have anything to do with WSJT (other than your ego that this is in fact your mailing list) has been happening all over so many mailing lists that your response is cluttering, off topic
