Can this thread please just be deleted or something? I regret starting it. Sorry for wasting your time.

It's what physicists do. I remember reading papers on what the universe would be like if certain physical aspects functioned differently. Completely pointless?

Okay, valid point. But my question remains. Say that it is possible that superconductors enhance the effects of gravitomagnetism. What are some, or your own, theories associated with this? I don't want to debate the phenomenon's credibility.

I was thinking perhaps nuclear spin, or these Cooper pairs I've been hearing about. I know it isn't a 'verified phenomenon', but neither are black holes and gravitational waves, although we are very confident in their existence. This aside, there would still be theories as to why and how this...

How/why does a superconductor amplify the effects of gravitomagnetism? It must have something to do with a coherent movement of subatomic particles, right?

Do you use a left-hand or right-hand rule with gravitomagnetism?

Thanks a lot for your help. With the dipole moment, do you mean that a star will not oscillate up and down, or that this motion won't release waves? Will the wave made by orbiting masses by transversal or helical?

This might seem simple... I'm having a bit of trouble both finding and interpretting information on how a gravitational wave is produced. I know they are analogous to EM waves, and that they are produced by accelerating masses, but it's more complicated than that, isn't it? Can anyone...
