Gravitational waves detection

  • An interesting results : gravitational waves measurement for the first time !


    The collision of two black holes allowed gravitational waves detection. This important result confirms the material nature of Einstein spacetime as a continuum media. Moreover, it confirms that spacetime has physical properties, i.e. a density and a viscosity.

  • I have to admit that I am perplexed by the coverage of this story.


    It is unclear to me why tidal forces and orbital perturbations are not
    considered gravitational waves, albeit very low frequency ones.


    Is there also some frequency or bandwidth criterion?

    No at this time I have not informations about waves characteristics. But I can be quite sure that the information is true.
    My personal explanation of the detection is we needed an extremely violent event to detect something because spacetime could have a very high viscosity able to avoid waves propagation. Tidal forces or orbital changes are too mild events to cause a wave propagation even if they are closer.


    Thanks
