Hi all, After spending a most enjoyable week on the sunny Caribbean island of St. Lucia, I'm home again. Returning was quite a shock -- the temperature here on arrival was 6 F.
Probably you heard last Thursday's announcement about the detection of gravitational waves originating from a pair of colliding black holes, some 1.3 billion light years away, in the southern sky. This is a major discovery in physics -- it opens a new window on the universe, if you like. Since I've already had off-list queries from several list members about this announcement, I'll share a few links to some of the essentials: Full press release from the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory) collaboration: https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/news/ligo20160211 The actual detected waveform of the black-hole collision, presented as an audio clip you can listen to: https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/video/ligo20160211v2 In case you're interested in more details, I've posted a copy of the full announcement paper as published in Physical Review Letters here: http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/PhysRevLett.116.061102.pdf -- Joe, K1JT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
