Re: [Phys-L] gravitational waves (Ludwik Kowalski)



1) Cavendish, who died 200 years ago, would certainly measure the speed of a gravitational disturbance (with his simple laboratory model), if he had an ultra-fast clock, similar to clocks available to modern scientists.

2) Did LIGO scientists try to do something like this?

3)They probably did this; the mean was probably very close to c. And the bar of random error was probably much smaller than 10%. Yes I am guessing again.
