I thought it would have already been pointed out in one of the forums here by now, but a quick search of the forums reveals not....

FYI... one of the BOINC distributed computing projects, Einstein@home, is using the data collected from the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatories) in Hanford, WA and Livingston, LA to confirm through direct observation the existence of gravity waves. Lots of great discussion on physics and astrophysics in the forums there, from some VERY prominant people in field. Thousands of @home BOINCers (including myself) have contributed our CPU time to produce results for some serious science over the last couple of years.

Other ongoing projects include crunching data to improve the design of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, doing protein predictions for disease related research, and of course... .... SETI.

Some new projects coming include doing long range orbit calculations for Near Earth Objects (NEOs) as new one are discovered, and helping discover new planets as part of NASA JPL's Planet Quest project.

Thought I'd pass it along, and encourage one and all to join the scientific effort and become a BOINCer.

What is it that reaches out? Why does it pull on the heartstrings of matter! What is the real difference between human-relationships that attract and repulse one another,and that of gravity?The moon pulls at our oceans and at our minds! As our bodies are mostly water, then the moon has quite an effect on it, mental illness is sometimes affected by lunar-cycles, and then there is the word, Lunar-tic! What is it that reaches out from the moon and touches all our lives! We know what the name given to it is called, Gravity, but what is that really! what lies back of that name,if the moon was a human-being looking down on the earth and effecting us so,would that not be called Love!In nature things gravitate together for they are attracted,while others repel,in humans we call this,love and hate,in nature we call it gravity,why is this?

kind regards michael.

It's been five months... and I still haven't figured out what the hell you're talking about. But the vodka you drink must be really good.

actually my friend,I drink mineral water with cranberry juice!You should really try to post more often,we all need your valuable contribution
here on the toe.

Oooo thats a good answer. Did you answer the question? No answer is better than a bad answer. I'll answer it for you.

I would'nt call it love from the moon, it's more like "Im gona make you crazy so learn to deal with it". Remember the moon has been doing this for millions of years. So the effects on some of us is a natural occurance through the ages. I agree with you that the moon at its peek may effect some of us in one way or another. Maybe the gravitational pull does effect the liquids in our bodies.I see no relation with love and gravity, two different forces. Love and hate is an emotional force that changes. Gravity is a natural force that is consistent.

Let's just say that gravity is not caused by a flow of EM radiation but is a flow of the medium of that radiation. The wave nature of it changes from chaos random wave nature to the symmetry wave nature of the localized particles that create the flow.

I have come to believe that all "force" (indeed, life)is an interplay of the struggle for balance. I just haven't figured out what those forces are. Is it possible that gravity is the attraction part of attraction-repulsion that rules us all?

[Unreal Zelta]

At this point, we cannot say if gravity is caused by anything (a wave, particle or consciousness). I agree with Dave, EM radiation or forces has nothing to do with gravity, they are separate entities. Maybe, the answer is within the dark hole, I believe it acts as a central generator of gravity forces or perhaps the gravitational collapse triggers (or creats) an invisible structure, which traps an universe or system into a momentous flow, This flow is gravity. Those theories are only hypothetical and from my point of views.

What is the mediator (or carrier) for gravity? I do not think it's a particle nor wave. It's something else. I read some papers on wave mechanics and the particle zoo, they are very interesting. However, gravity does not fall into any of their catagories. So we need to find another way to describe gravity.
Particle>Wave>consciousness>what's next?

Best regards

UZ you have hit the nail on the head,with the magicword consciousness?couple that with the outworkings of the vortex,and there is your answer,short and sweet.Gravity Cannot,exist without the permission of a
vortex,remember thatand you arehalf way home!
