Thank you Joe for the links. As a university teacher of physics (including
relativity theory) for many decades I too was excited by this discovery.
You must be particularly thrilled in view of your own contributions to the
area.
And to satisfy the list's topic-policeman perhaps your new JTgrav mode
developments are indeed already well advanced? Sorry, I couldn't resist
that!
Cheers,
