| 31. | The long, vertical dark lines show where the troughs of gravity waves have roughened the surface.
|
| 32. | Barish thinks that gravity waves might help map this so-called dark matter for the first time.
|
| 33. | :There are gravity waves, at least in theory.
|
| 34. | Equatorial gravity waves can be either westward-or eastward-propagating.
|
| 35. | Exponential decay of EM waves occurs in dielectrics, however, and gravity waves are thought not so attenuated.
|
| 36. | :: The shape of a gravity wave is too complex to have a simple name, it seems.
|
| 37. | The possibility that LIGO will see gravity waves from black holes brings an additional bonus, said Shapiro.
|
| 38. | They can be caused by gravity waves or turbulence, which can be related to convection or wind.
|
| 39. | Because gravity waves are predicted by Einstein's relativity theory, physicists would hail their detection as a major coup.
|
| 40. | And he has identified just the instrument to make the measurements, a device built to measure gravity waves.
