What a long way we are from understanding gravity.

You know, it almost sounds like shes saying LEGO.

Your wasting your time and money,.  I discovered what gravity was in 1992.

look at gravity wave of the future 3

This is a good video with a GREAT improvement to visualizing Einstein's ideas.

Instead of the two-dimensional trampoline graphic, look at the 3D depiction of space-time warping at around 1:30.

For years, I have petitioned physics teachers and artists asking them to stop using the old flat graphic, since it pre-assumes some form of gravity underneath the surface of the grid. This new graphic representation is far more accurate and visually intuitive.

see the video "gravity interferometer"

Why not configure the tubes perpendicular, with one pointing toward the center of the earth?

And with that thought, I guess we need to build a device to perdict when a GRB is going to happen so we can point our cameras at it in advance.

Once you see the event, wouldn't the gravity waves have already passed? Like a shock wave at the leading edge of an atomic explosion, the other energies follow the initial burst.

In the models would'nt the waves move inward towards a body? Or is that too simplistic

That makes sense and I have walked into alot of these bubbles in my life im only 28 and I already have white hair. I dont know maybe I figured it out in the future but time is really messed up for me now like I sometimes see shit on the news about things that just happened but I seen it couple of months ago. I think I messed up by steeping into some worm hole but im coming into some money and im gonna donate 250,000 to DR Ron Mallet so he can work on his time machine or shall i build my own?

I've never heard of this before but I just wanted to point out that if you were in a "bubble" that made everything around you appear to be moving in "slow motion" then this "time bubble" would actually be speeding time up for you (not slowing it down). Time is all relative to the observer. While to you everything would appear slow, to everything else you would appear to be moving faster. So a bubble with this effect would in fact be accelerating time for the space within it.
