Anyone can generate gravity waves in their home!

[Akarsh Simha]

Hi folks

After the recent discovery of gravitational waves by LIGO, I'm sure
you can imagine that there's a lot of excitement surrounding gravity
waves.

In fact, it has become so commonplace that when I visited the
Deutsches Museum, the famous science and technology museum in Germany,
they actually had several demonstrations showing the interference and
refraction of gravity waves! The Deutsches Museum is known for its one
of a kind exhibits, so this is not as surprising, but still is.

Anyway, I found out there is a way to make gravity waves in your own
home even! It's called a ripple tank experiment, and there's a
Wikipedia page on it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_tank
I haven't tried it yet though, but it seems pretty simple to set up.

Please do let me know if any of you succeed in making and measuring
gravity waves in your home.

Regards
Akarsh

Apparently, you can also make X and Y polarizations, although it seems
hard to make the + polarization.

Hi,

can someone explain Gravity Waves and how they emanate/escape from a singularity/ black hole to pull objects outside the event horizon, when nothing, not even light can escape the clutches of a black hole?

Sreeshankar

Just jump... you can create Gravitational waves... :p

That look on the faces of people at LIGO when they hear we did it at home....

That's true too, but my proposition allows one to study gravity waves
beyond just creation.

Meh, you can study even tachyon oscillations if you know precisely the
concentration of alcohol in a closed system.

Nevermind all that, if you precisely know what happens when you throw
an electron into a tin can, you can uncover the postulates of quantum
gravity.
