What Jeff doesn't know is that I also invented a directional
thought wave detector which is, right now, guiding the genetically modified baboons I created to his lair.

«In the 1970s, Kip Thorne [Caltech's Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics, Emeritus] and others wrote papers saying that these pulsars should be emitting gravity
waves that are nearly perfectly periodic, so we're
thinking hard about how to use these techniques on a gram - scale object to reduce quantum noise in
detectors, thus increasing the sensitivity to pick up on those gravity
waves,» Schwab says.
As ground - based gravitational -
wave detectors get ready to score their first direct measurement of the ripples of spacetime,
thoughts turn to space - based
detectors that could see all the way back to the big bang
The
detector, called VIRGO, will try to measure the elusive gravity
waves which are
thought to ripple through the Universe after violent events such as the collapse of a star to form a black hole.
At 7:41 a.m. local Livingston time that morning, the Fermi Gamma - ray Space Telescope, LIGO Hanford and the Virgo gravitational
wave detector in Europe had all detected two incredibly dense objects called neutron stars smashing into each other — an event some astronomers
thought they would have to wait years or even decades to see.
