Re: [Phys-L] gravitational waves



My main quarrel with the trampoline model is that it assumes what it claims to explain. It assumes some a priori (Newtonian?) gravity to give the mother body the weight which will depress the trampoline and thus produce the curvature which is gravity!!!

All analogies are imperfect. That's why we call them analogies
rather than copies or instances. . . .
