    Looks like our knowledge of the universe is about to be expanded. Good find!. Also good is the news people at home can get involved via their home computer.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Click on the photo to get an idea of the scale of this thing, compared to the normal scope on the right.

    Yes Bob, the steps forward in scientific knowledge we are making nowadays is truly mind boggling. As I have said before, we live in exciting times. At long last we are getting the technology to prove or disprove Einsteins GR theories on gravitational waves. Einstein was so far ahead with his theories that it is just now we are getting the technology to test the theories.

    Just thought I would mention the LIGO detector experiment to test for gravitational waves.

    My greatest fear is, I'm going to be left behind. The World is moving too fast, I can barely keep up. Not that that worries me too much, my boilermaker mate & I are going to transform the 7x4 trailer I built, into a customized camping trailer. Give me a sandy beach, esky, fishing rod, SWMBO, to hell with the World.

    As long as I can hear those waves on a beach somewhere, all will be well. Sometimes the pace of scientific discoveries scares me a little.
