| Feb 14, 2016 at 2:20 | comment | added | robert bristow-johnson | the other thing about using TDOA for localization is that the wavespeed must be known. i think that they are assuming that Alfred Einstead is also correct that the wavespeed is the same $c$ as for EM. but shouldn't that also be experimentally confirmed? so we have confirmed the existence of gravity waves as well as the existence of super massive black holes in binary pairs that collide with tremendous output (i would hate to be within a lightyear of that event), but we haven't yet confirmed the speed of gravity waves. | |

| Feb 13, 2016 at 20:56 | comment | added | Roger Barretto | Ok, now we can see the wave signature of celestial bodyes. What makes me a little bumped is the fact that the gravity definitely is not a particle, because if it was, the blackholes would diggest its own gravity and in an ultimate form they wouldnt be the ´source´ of gravity (as emitters of its waves) | |
