nice, you have a sense of humor...to be serious now, I suspect that the bound ones are about to be let lose...it won't be a sudden thing as most mainstream Christians expect, but a gradual change, a systematic evolution perfectly tailored to lure the unwary to sleep. Even as we speak, modern alchemists who heed the whispers of seduction are perfecting their crafts in secret black ops labs, creating fit extensions for the soon to be manifested entities wherefore men's hearts shall fail them for gazing upon those things which are coming upon the Earth...indeed as done before, these mighty men of old and renown shall again mingle themselves with the seeds of man but even as iron is not mixed with miry clay they shall not cleave one to another...and this is a sign that when you see the swine offered in the temple, let him who's on the rooftop not come down..if then the temple be your body, how is the swine offered therein? Here's a clue, the life of the thing is in its blood.....I can rant bros Jesus is Lord koyipada.

What took scientists hundred years or even a billion years to discover was created by an all knowing Being with just the mention of a word. They live and die within the span of a hundred years, He lives eternally.

The problem with controlling gravity is certainly not its weakness, but It's dislocation from electricity. if we can find a unified theory connecting gravity to electricity, then it's weakness will not matter.
for instance, magnetism is far stronger than gravity. however, it cannot interact with nonmagnetic materials, making it entirely useless for cool things like levitation. despite the fact that it is connected to electricity.
the strong force as well. very well named. but it doesn't interact easily with electricity. so we literally can't use it for anything. angry

A cool analogy would be a really beautiful woman. whom you can never date, because she doesn't understand the language you're speaking.
I understand your point, but gravitational waves haven't even been detected here on planet earth and it took gigantic interferometers to spot a ripple from a massive collision. I say, we might get there, but it's gonna be a looong while.

Pls refer back to my post before hurrying to quote me wrong.
What I stated are the POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS of gravitational waves propagation IF scientists eventually attain the peak of this discovery.

Yes gravitions are likely existential,though still at a hypothetical stage.

Physics always endeavours to extrapolate thoughts and hypothesis...a very simple example is when archimedis inadvertently droped an object into water and some volumes of water where displaced....there and then he extrapolated the very event and the idea of measuring the volume of irregular solids was generated.....this even helped in the laws of floatations .

That is what I just did........thinking of the POTENTIALS of this discovery
Thanks





Penisinpenisout:


Wrong!!!!

Being able to detect gravitational wave is a far cry from generating them
Or even manipulating them in the lab, literally no device exist to manipulate or generate gravity, once we can harness the quanta of gravity(graviton) then we can start to look at its application

For now its all just validation of theories

What i really want to know is if these means that gravitons exist, just like photons for light
I mean, graviton is still a hypothetical particle or?

If you don't understand the importance of this discovery , think of it this way

There are different waves like

SoUND WAVES
LIGHT WAVES,under ELECTROMAGNECTIC WAVES

WATER WAVES
TIDAL WAVES
VIBRATIONAL WAVES ETC
Now

GRAVITATIONAL WAVES


Just like electromagnectic waves propagation makes it possible for us to send and receive radio signals,radar signals,television signals and even make and receive calls.

Gravitational waves propagation ill make it possible for objects to suspend in the vacumn or air without hitting the earth grin
It has the potential to transmit and receive matter.
Just like e can transmit and receive sound and light signals..grin

The potentials are inumerable tho


Physics is wonderful


Nice one.

1. You wrote space and time as if they were 2 separate qualities. According to Einstein you can't have one without the other. So it's spacetime. Or space-time. 3 dimensions of space cannot exist outside the 4th dimension of time.

2. Gravitational waves are too weak to be of any use. It took a century to detect them with the most sensitive tool ever use. To propagate and harness waves as u propose one needs to be near a supermassive blackhole with an enormous spin. Such a blackhole will be violently destructive.

the significance:
1) It will help scientists to study the universe in a better dimension.
2) It will help to explain the big bang theory, ie the origin of the universe, wit the detection of gravitational wave, the workings nd origin of the universe will be revealed.

yes. This is the first direct detection. however, this is certainly not the first time they verified the concept of gravitational waves. in fact, LIGO was built to detect gravitational waves BECAUSE they had already been verified. what was left was to study them directly.The problem with controlling gravity is certainly not its weakness, but It's dislocation from electricity. if we can find a unified theory connecting gravity to electricity, then it's weakness will not matter.

come on dont condem and criticize science in such a horrible manner, science is only working in tandem with the word of God,forget religion for it has been infiltrated with hypocrite. Science will conquer religion but the word of God will stand for all eternity. Brother follow the word of God and not religion else on that day you'll be gnashing your teeth in hell(if indeed it real) Scientist have worked tirelessly for centuries to discover what God described as faith "happening as you believe" faith has been proved in the laboratory and in science it is called Quantum Mechanics(Theory).

Looollz. Mine did sha. Use Google keyboard.

About his underrating, it was the greed and love of money of the likes of J.P Morgan, Thomas Edison that killed his quest for free use of energy globally. The wireless charger introduced by Nokia lumia 900series was based on his theory.

I respect Tesla more than any other scientist

So they were able to detect gravitational waves. So like radio waves, once you can detect it you can manipulate the wave this is how we brodcast signals like radio tv celphone and bluetooth.
So if you can manipulate gavity, think of all the possibilities like levitation, flying with little energy to takeoff, space travel, deep sea exploration etc.
So welcome to the new world. Don't freak out yet it would take a while b4 we get there.
Thanks for simplifying it. Best comment on this topic I have seen all day since the news emerged.

True bro, but for me the greatest genius of all time was Leonardo di vinici, he was hundreds of years ahead of his time.
The big bang theory was actually postulated by Georges Lemaitre whose theory Einstein said "his maths was correct but his physics is abominable" note: they were both creationist, so atheist should not twist this discovery.

You see, because they were Creationists doesn't mean that their theory belongs to GOD. . . . How will you explain Lemaitre propounding a theory (big bang) that would be the bane of his religion(creationism)? Because they were creationists doesn't make their theory support creationism
Onegai:

lol. He is more than what you think. . . Back then when there were no Bluetooth or WiFi, Tesla build a remote controlled boat. . . Wireless electricity he did over 100 years ago, the BEST UNIVERSITY of TECHNOLOGY in the world (MIT), the geniuses couldn't do what he did as the their distance of transmition was lesser than Tesla's. . Today, you would've not been paying NEPA bill, Fashola wouldn't even think of increasing tariff. But Edison, the old steve jobs, the goal eater, the con man, stopped it.

I like how Nigerians don't know what gravitational waves are.

I Also like how they think gravitational waves have just been verified when this is actually the second time. the first time, earned the physicists involved Nobel prizes.

I Also like how Nigerians are surprised that Einstein could have made a Hundred year prediction that turned out right. when scientists have been doing this since the inception of time.

from Kepler predicting solar eclipse for future decades, Poincaré's conjecture, to Fermat's last theorem. which actually spanned 350+ years, The prediction of thousands of atomic particles not excluding the Higgs boson that was recently discovered, antimatter, Entire Atomic table! down to the color and shapes. so on, Riemann's hypothesis which has been verified for the first 40 million numbers, the predictions of Ray Kurzweil, Isaac Asimov, michio Kaku, which have all turned out right.

Your pastors make yearly, Vague "prophesies" and you lot swoon over it, and most of the time, they don't come to pass! Yet, scientists make incredibly specific, concrete predictions spanning several decades to centuries, and you are all like . . . Scientist are still inferior to my pastor. angry
