OT: Scientists confirm existence of gravitational waves

I look at the responses and make note of the people who are CLEARLY waaaaaay smarter than me (yes I know - big club but still) and make a mental note to not enter into a debate with them in the future.
Unless the subject is something important like the Cleveland Browns or our OC. Then all bets are off!

Just wait one nano-second--
Since you are a Browns Fan-- you DO know all about Johnny Manziel--and he is completely lost in space-- so there you go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You, in fact, are a Half-Astronomer by default!!!!-scientifically loyal to the worst management in NFL history (with the Lions) since 1957...........
Science Club Watch Out!!!!
Congratulations, and take a bow!

bend space and that is why they move faster than light.
Remember what Einstein said about gravity bending space:
.A________________________.B_________________.C
Bend space at point B and you have
.A.C
Also, since space time is a single continuum, therefor the time it takes to get from point A to point C is instantaneous when space is bent.

I got my undergrad from Michigan in Physics. I always felt fortunate to be among such wonderful minds... and such terrific self-sacrificing people... I bow to the PhD's of Physics.
I was amazed and proud of the discovery...
...it made me begin to consider the intersection of Casimir energies in space-time, and its relation to gravitational waves... what is more, is this notion that the casimir effect in quantum field theory allows for the energy density in certain regions of space be negative in comparision to ordinary space vacuum.
If one applies Hawking/Thorne theory to this concept, traversible wormholes are in theory possible, by stabilization which leads to theory by Miguel Alcubierre... namely, the Alcubierre Drive.

In other words, "WARP DRIVE" (yep, like in Star Trek).
Physics, bitches, Physics.

thought the sound of colliding Black Holes would be more violent.
