I would guess nibbling. That's what I feel like I did with this post. I left my hot cup of coffee in the kitchen, I see. I'm gonna go get it and then give the science reading another try.

Fun to read! Is 1.4 billion years the max on LIGO's detectors or just coincidence as they stated that this was the same as the first signal ever detected by it? They stated the second detection was less massive, lighter, than the first detection; is this assuming the density of mass in the second is equal to that of the first one? In other words, could the second one have been larger in area but lighter in mass, thus giving off a weaker signal? Not that I'd know the difference... LOL? Love this stuff. Thanks.

Now I know why we are having such a wintery Christmas. it's the fault of them thare black 'oles. Seriously though, it is difficult for the average person to grasp such events that we can detect now but that actually happened so very long ago, and what exactly humans can learn from such events except that everything is orderly so that nothing iin the Universe lasts in its original form forever.

I am going to walk very slowly in future just in case the last straw etc.
It is frightening really, we scrabble around on our own patch and think we are somehow we are here to stay. Would not be much use colonizing another planet if the same sun gives it the lick of warmth. I hope your loved one feels better.

So, it's true. You can sense someone else moving around your
personal gravitational field at the cosmic level. And here I thought it was just my imagination.
