I understanding there is some effort to detect a “Gravity Wave”
What kind of event are looking for that could produce one?
Assuming we are starting from a base of gravitation “tension” being exerted on us like rubber bands from all directions. I assume the wave to be detected would be in line – like someone pulling back and forth on the rubber band.
And if detected it would likely be a highly damped single Square Wave. A sudden change in the number of gravitons coming our way up or down.
So this wouldn’t be just be something moving around out in the Cosmos.
We must be looking for some significant change is Mass to generate such a wave.
The question is – What is it that we expect to be happening out there that should have such a dramatic affect. A massive release energy though the sudden elimination of mass on a scale large enough that we hope detect a G wave?
Do we have an idea of what this predicted event should “Look” like?
Should be disappointed if such an event is seen but G wave is not detected?
