Title: Is there a simple way to detect gravitational waves?
Post by: jccc on 03/06/2015 04:12:08
in vacuum chamber, thin line hang 2 bells. ring 1 bell, measure temperature of the 2 bells.

if both bells get hotter, that means gravitational wave is working?

Nope. Not at all. Gravitational waves cannot heat anything up whatsoever.

are you sure captain right?

show me wiki or test result?

don't have the means to real test. just thinking.

if bell 1 keeps ringing, its temperature should be increasing, then stay at maximum.

bell 2 should feel gravity wave produced by bell 1 and heat up, the closer the hotter. 1/r^2

or you can say bell 1 gives heat radiation to bell 2 to heat it up?

now if we replace electricity with laser to heat up bell 1, do we get same result?

Gravitational waves carry energy, not much but not zero if something absorbs this energy presumably it heats up a little bit !.

No. I see no point in doing that. There's simply northing in existence in gravitational waves to heat matter up. And there have not been any gravitational waves detected yet.

There's nothing that will couple the gravitational wave to excite the vibrational states of molecules enough for there to be any increase in heat. All that happens when a gravitational wave passes by an object is that the metric changes making the distances between points inside the object vibrate. The vibrations cease when the gravitational wave passes by.

2 bells are so close, the wave should be detectable? stronger than the waves from outer space?

when bell 1 is vibrating, it does produce gravitational wave right?

if so, bell 2 will feel the wave right?

if so, got be a way to detect it.

does music/sound able to heat up a bell?

Why do you hang the bells on a line? If you ring one bell, the line will start to sway, and the second bell will start to ring, and will heat up slightly.

This is not detection of gravitational waves, this is a variant of the coupled pendulum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_pendulum).

I have seen a real gravitational wave detector; they have elaborate mechanical and electronic systems to isolate their mirrors from all external vibrations, so they can have some slight chance of detecting gravitational waves. You certainly would not hang two mirrors from the same string!

Yes, but the energy carried away is so tiny that we could never hope to detect it.

If you take two pulsars, and throw them together into a tightly orbiting pair, the gravitational radiation is sufficient to be detectable by measuring the change in orbit of the two pulsars over many years.

You need to think bigger about the masses you are swinging around in this experiment - by about the ratio of the mass of a bell and the mass of the Sun.

2 lines hang 2 balls, they are separate.

small mass but small distance, maybe detectable.

atoms in our cells are vibrating all the time, do they give off gravitational waves?

hot gasses on the sun are vibrating faster, do they give off gravitational waves?
Title: Re: Simple way to detect gravitational wave
Post by: jccc on 04/06/2015 18:32:26
let there be light, and there was light.

as long as mass is vibrating, it gives off gravitational wave.

atoms able to vibrate at higher frequency than bell, produce visible gravitational waves.

fair enough?

Electromagnetism is a far more powerful force than gravitation.

Electromagnetic waves (light) are far more powerful than gravitational waves.

So, as for previous posts on this subject, the idea that light is a gravitational wave belongs in the New Theories forum.
Title: Re: Is there a simple way to detect gravitational waves?
Post by: jccc on 05/06/2015 13:15:53
new theory or old theory don't matter, correct theory is what we after.

the vibration energy can be calculated. because the em force between the light source and target can be calculated, as long we know the masses/charges, frequency of the vibration, atoms' distance.

hot gasses on the sun do vibrate, where that energy go? emit photons?

  • A single atom can produce detectable electromagnetic waves, but even a huge planet like Jupiter cannot produce detectable gravitational waves.
  • Single-celled algae can detect light, but so far a $300M detector has come up with no confirmed detection of gravitational waves. 

So, as for previous posts on this subject, the idea that light is a gravitational wave belongs in the New Theories forum.

how a single atom produce em waves? vibrating? or electron in the atom change orbit?

jupiter does not vibrate, no quake, therefore it produces no gravitational wave.

Thanks!

gravitational waves are em force pauses, photons are particles.

not the same thing.

how do you think?

That is true for stationary gravitational waves. However the moon spins around the earth and this effects the tides. The application of the moving waves causes motion and heat in the waters. In addition the Earth's gravitational waves causes eddy currents within the moon which eventually caused it to be phase locked with the earth so that only one face of the moon shows.

   To use Bill Clinton's expression modified ":What does giving off mean?"
Gravitational waves are caused by the loss of mass per unit time. This converts physical mass into dark energy and the universe expands. The vibration of objects is a property such that you get vibrating gravitational fields which do have effects. It could be argued that these motions radiate the dot-waves over time. An electron is composed of 5.75037E41 dot-waves as per my Dot-wave theory. Therefore a vibrating electron could slowly radiate theses dot-waves. Likewise the proton is composed of 1.055854E45 dot waves.
   You raise a valid question which I have not thought about. My work is mostly about writing the equations of the universe and the amount of dot-waves within it. Most of my work is done in my sleep and my dreams. I wake up and write down the equations. Then I study my dreams and try to understand them. The problem is that I have an engineering mind while we are dealing with multi-dimensional concepts. However the basic equations of the universe are simple algebraic expressions. In any event what you say makes sense. The vibrations within the universe will cause it to radiate dot-waves per unit time.

see if you can write right equation for atom first.

not even sure about atomic structure, the rest of science is unsure indeed.

according to wiki, when a mass is accelerating it produces gravitational wave.

the hot atoms of the sun are constantly vibrating producing gravitational waves.

where that energy/force goes?

Title: Re: Is there a simple way to detect gravitational waves?
Post by: jccc on 23/06/2015 11:02:27
the gravity between any 2 masses m1 and m1, F=G x /m1m2/r^2.

the gravitational wave strength is proportional to mass, also proportional to the atoms vibrating frequency.

only atoms able to vibrate at such high frequency. to accelerate a mass of 1 gram to vibrate at 10^14 times per second will need a lot of energy, we don't have the technology yet.

gravitational radiation is hard to detect? maybe just misunderstood?

That is incorrect. Gravitational waves are caused by a time varying distribution of mass such as a binary star system where two stars are orbiting each other. There is certainly no "loss of mass per unit time" in cases but the distribution of mass does vary since the matter is accelerating. For a precise statement of the sources of gravitational waves please see: http://www.ligo.org/science/GW-Sources.php

That is incorrect as well. There is no known process for which mass cannot be converted into dark energy. Why did you think so?

I see you're still using a term that has no meaning in physics and for which you have constantly refused to define yourself. Would you care to define it for us or explain why you keep ignoring my request to do so? Or will you once again ignore this request and go on with business as usual?

More nonsense given that you refuse to define what you mean by "dot-wave." People who refuse to define their terms are crackpots.

You haven't posted even one equation in this forum that I've see. Care to try now?

You can't expect us to take you seriously when you say things like that. It's very vague and could be taken to mean that you'd like people to think that the equation was impressive, complicated and physically meaningful when in fact, if you actually did have such a dream, it might have been trivial such as y = ax + b. I'm not saying this to be rude whatsoever since I have no idea who you are. It's just that we get a lot of pretenders and wannabes who come in here putting on airs and trying to impress us.

I don't understand. What is that supposed to mean? Are you actually an engineer?

So what? All of physics deals with multi-dimensional concepts. Even the kinematics that a freshman physics student takes has that.

Quote from: jerrygg38

That is completely false. E.g. Einstein's field equations, i.e. the equations which are used, among many other uses, to describe the shape and evolution of the universe are differential tensor equations.

I'm sure we ALL await your definition of this "dot-waves" that you keep talking about but consistently refuse to define.

Here is an idea to detect gravitons, because that is what it is all about after all. In a vacuum place a well engineered nano-slinky that is held at its topmost point and left to hang under tension. Have a photon array so that all photons deflect from the surface of the slinky. The slinky will need to be WELL isolated from external vibration. In this case any vibration up or down should be due to the influence of gravity. There may even be waves across the coils due to the distribution of force carriers. This can also be modified by altitude. When photons miss the surface of the coils they are then detected and a time dependent picture can be built up of the motion of the coils.

Post by: jccc on 23/06/2015 18:26:10
the force carrier of gravity is mass, not graviton. graviton is imaginary, just like photon.

are atoms of the sun vibrating? are they produce gravitational waves?

where that energy goes?
