Could New Pulsar Discoveries Lead to Direct Detection of Cosmic Gravity Waves?

AI Thread Summary
Recent discoveries made with CSIRO's Parkes radio telescope may accelerate the direct detection of cosmic gravity waves. Observations are increasingly providing evidence that supports theoretical frameworks in astrophysics. The excitement surrounding these findings highlights the importance of observational data in confirming scientific theories. There is optimism about future discoveries related to dark matter, dark energy, and the structure of spacetime. The ongoing advancements in astronomy could lead to significant breakthroughs in understanding the universe.

i did not know which forum to post this article in as it
covers so many areas, i think it is exciting that that
observations are finding more and more fuel for the
theorists.
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
I saw the same announcement (on a different website) and posted it to Relativity! Still in Astronomy&Cosmology though.

hi NEREID
i keep a watch for discoveries like the above ,or anything
that can give science a firm foundation, it seems to me that
this is the era for observation to confirm theory, who knowes
what new observational discoveries will reveal, dark matter
dark energy the granularity of spacetime, i just hope i am
around to witness them.
 
Me too
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
