LIGO Wave Wall

seems incredibly loud.

[KeeanuHolden]

cool im going their tomorrow

[Mojosam]

Nah, there's a lock down mechanism.

[disleksichna]

And what if the wind is stronger? Can it brake it?

[pifou111]

how much power output there? =)

[espaceman000]

Very cool!  I'm going there tomorrow! :D

[hazeywolf]

Now that is some striking, kinetic public art! Very cool - it interacts with nature, is visually stunning, and suits the aesthetics of the site. Truly mesmerizing and beautiful.

[FeroxX]

this is not even beautiful O_o)... stupid imho :P

[VirtRampage]

whats the point of that?

[saintaureus]

Beauty.

[54spiritedwill54]

amazingly beautiful

[elizabethjamespenyla]

you could use lighter weight materials for that and pick up on more sensative wind and wave patterns and their connections as well as saving money.

[Elaina43]

Oooh, thanks for showing it from different angles!

Besides, we already have a wonderful 'gravity wave' detector. It's called 'tides'.

I feel pretty safe in assuming that the H2O molecules in the oceans move quite a bit further than a

nuclear width.

A third of a billion dollars spent on LIGO, but it can't even see the MOON???

Tell me this isn't a government project!

[kamack2]

LIGO is not a telescope. and yes, the government did pay for it. who else would? moron.

[lanezer12]

actually it is i went ther a few weeks ago on a school trip its pritty cul

[r06u3AP]

That "Wave Wall" probably makes a better gravity wave detector than that interferometer. Reason being, the spacetime interval is frame invariant. Which means that you can't use a local speed of light measurement in an inertial frame to detect changes in interferometer arm length (or,

equivalently, changes in light speed). That would mean that the laws of physics change according to gravitational intensity which would violate Relativity. I would think that would be well understood by now.

[shouravv]

As an insider, this is nothing but an avoidable additional source of detector glitch. Okay it's cool, but it shouldn't have been placed anywhere within 10 miles of the detector. As if we already did not have enough noise sources.

[SirRobbie888]

Cool

[VonSeux]

ugly

[kedzierski76]

very cool

[MathPhysicsEducation]

just great ... engineering ... artwork ...
