<br />I was wondering if Dr Van Flandern had any thoughts on this (non) detection and how his Meta model might explain the (non)existance of gravity waves for such events?<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">In the Meta Model, gravitational waves originate from drag in elysium, the light-carrying medium. Because there is no difference between elysium, the gravitational potential field, and the "space-time medium" of general relativity in the Meta Model, MM predicts that "gravitational waves" will have spin 1, the same as photons. The mainstream interpretation is that such waves will have spin 2, and LIGO is designed to detect only spin 2 waves. So this non-detection is no surprise to MM. We think LIGO will always fail to detect spin 2 waves associated with astrophysical events. -|Tom|-
