I work on gravitational wave detection and imaging for fun. I studied physics and astrophysics at several universities, but then worked in international development and computer systems for organizations to make a living. I studied statistical mechanics and thermodynamics at UT Austin in the 1970s when Ilya Prigogine and Bryce DeWitt and Madame DeWitt were

That is what real “gravitational engineers” use The gravitational potential field can change its value at every voxel in space at every moment. The acceleration field is just the vector or tensor gradient. Potentials can flow. They can have turbulent flows,

Someone wished that my holidays would “sparkle”. I think about gravitational noise every day and have for a long time. Now I will think about gravitational “sparkle” during the holidays and beyond. Sferics, sparks, seismic events, explosions, cracks, radioactive decays, shock waves, collisions. Gravity is mostly collisions and things bumping around. They mostly crack

Anton Petrov: Unexplained Earthquake Light Phenomenon Finally Captured on Camera at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05NmTEeXvhs Anton, This argues for keeping permanent all-sky (fish eye and other name) cameras to monitor the sky above regions where there are earthquakes, like where the earth is pulling apart. Beside piezoelectric, there are also piezomagnetic materials which will change the electromagnetic fields. The

For the Love of Physics: The Hidden Connection – How Magnetism Arise from Relativity: Explained at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwzB1JvsyYc When calculating the vector tidal gravitational acceleration at a three axis gravimeter station on Earth, it is necessary to use “time of flight” methods. The sun and moon positions from JPL ephemeris for the time when the signal began

Physical Review D @PhysRevD Jun 23 The space-based detector LISA @LISACommunity will search for gravitational waves using Time Delay Interferometry variables. A new Suggestion shows that different variable choices than are commonly studied can perform better in non-ideal conditions. #EdSugg https://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.107.123531 Replying to @PhysRevD and @LISACommunity Please also look inside the sun, inside the earth,

Anton Petrov: Whole Universe May Be Evaporating According To New Study at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEAKbL04bxQ Anton Petrov, I think you ought to focus on the life of any star. The matter concentrates into stars, reaches critical density to ignite nuclear reactions, and then, for the rest of the stars life, it will be radiating neutrinos, photons, electrons, protons

Signal Decomposition and Feature Extraction Techniques: Application to Seismic Mitigation of Vibration-sensitive Eq Shieh-Kung Huang, This is very informative. I will only suggest a few things. Vibration isolation is now needed for buildings, as an integral part of energy harvesting, to allow orders of magnitude improvement in seismometers and gravimeters, and for gravitational wave

https://www.researchgate.net/project/Solar-System-Gravimetry-and-Gravitational-Engineering/ Calibrating all gravitational sensors into a single imaging array: I was thinking about this some more. The gravitational potential from the sun and moon changes significantly during the year and over the course of the day. And the absolute values (for the usual network few hundred samples per second and slower) change slowly. Your
