Way back fluidistic said: It looks like Extensible Firmware Interface is located on the hard drive and takes up where BIOS firmware leaves off between the firmware (BIOS) and OS (Windows, Mac, Lunix, Solstice, etc) and if this is so any OS that has a tendency to overwrite the directory that...

No, I was asking if the geometry was sufficient, and the event was sufficiently violent enough to produce gravitational waves of sufficient amplitude to be detected by the LIGO instrumentation No, I was asking about the geometry of gravity waves in space-time caused by any event, not just two...

Greetings: Perhaps displacement is too nautical a term to use here, therefore I will give the mathematical equivalent: Δx, Δy, Δz, Δt; caused by a gravitational field. I prefer to use the term 'gravitational distortion' in that bending, stretching, or pulling space-time is not an accurate...

There is nothing more aggravating than an op system that does not fallow your commands, and puts features in that you do not want or need, that you can not disable, or changes the BIOS in any way. If any thing is going to tweak my firmware it is going to be Dell and not Microsoft. Eimacman

Greetings Drakkith: Displacements of gravitational distortion through the axis x, y, z, and t of four dimensional space time. I apologize that I did not make that clear. Unfortunately without the mathematics I can not explain further to clear up this point one way or the other. Eimacman

Greetings Jonathan Scott: You make an interesting point. But before I consider myself in error (which I most likely am) I must give this more thought and study. I am partly in error in that this may not have been, and is most likely not, an asymmetrical supernova event. I had not considered the...

Greetings Ken G: Are you speaking of a symmetrical supernova or asymmetrical? A symmetrical supernova will do as you stated most of its energy will kinetic some of which will be converted into elements heaver than iron and thus will not produce the data observed. However an asymmetrical...

Upon further reflection, I believe that if this the case that with an asymmetrical blast towards the observer that the neutrinos and gamma rays might arrive simultaneously. There would be an associated gravitational distortion from the mass associated with the blast and core receding from each...

I was reading this thread and I just thought of something just off the top of my head, so this may not fit the observations. Could the data be caused by a asymmetric core collapse supernova with neutron star of black hole kick out, with the blast toward the observer. The black hole or neutron...

If I understand this correctly, the "bricked laptop" has suffered a MBR corruption. there are several BIOS Boot loaders controlled by the MBR that make it possible to boot multiple operating systems. The BIOS Boot Loaders may be intact but with an MBR corruption the the computer can not select...

Greetings berkeman: Being that this conversation is about photo diodes, the junction of a semiconductor device determines the characteristics of such a device just as the amounts of 'dopant' and elements used to make the conducting P or N substrates. In a liner device if forward voltage is...

An interesting problem. I can only think that if a photo-diode exhibits a negative resistance it would have be due possibly to quantum tunneling caused by photon excitement of the PN junction, that would cause decreased current drop across the junction at higher voltages when exhibiting negative...

I have been thinking of this for some time and I have been wondering why all transformers are not protected by surge arresters using MOV technology such are currently being made in the US by Cooper Power Systems for distribution lines. I think that a properly designed over voltage transient...

Greetings ZapperZ You said: I believe that is right on the mark. I think that there is currently a 97% probability that gravitons exist. I also believe when we discover the true nature of gravitons, that it will be something simple practically under our nose. But that remains to be seen...

Greetings PeterDonis: As you said: I agree, and I do occasionally neglect space-time effects as a part of a thought experiment. I am still studying the references you have cited, the math is difficult and I can not remember the meaning of some the terms. Eimacman
