AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the disappearance of Kip Thorne's PH237 Gravitational Waves course from his website, despite the link still being available. The original poster is seeking alternative access to the course materials, specifically the video classes. A suggestion was made to use the Wayback Machine to find archived content, but it only retrieved HTML pages without the video links. The user expressed gratitude for the help but noted that the archived resources were insufficient for their needs. The search for a viable solution to access the course continues.

I had been working through ph237 Gravitational Waves through Kip Thorne's website over the past year or so. It's been a few months since I visited and now the course is gone (but the link to the course is still there curiously). I tried emailing Thorne but as yet received no reply.

Anybody know of a mirror to this link, or have some other means to get access to the course (which was comprised of all the classes on video).

TIA

If for some reason you are not able to access a site or page, use the http://www.archive.org/index.php" to find it archived. (Copy and past URL.) Of course, if it's a site that's regularly updated and you're looking for the latest info, it won't be very useful

Neutrino,

Thanks for your help, learned something new. Unfortunately, the only thing archived was the html pages, none of the links to the videos are archived, so still looking.

Oh. Sorry about that.
 
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...

Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
