Perhaps out in space this would make more sense. ID: 1562767 ·

They work in exactly the same way. Tullio I forgot KAGRA in Japan. It should be completed within 2015. ID: 1563094 ·

We'll see I am convinced that gravitational waves exist. Maybe there will be a big enough SuperNova near enough to us soon. ID: 1563310 ·

So maybe the Fermilab people should contact them. Tullio ID: 1563523 ·

You kidding me William that's the last thing we need a supernova to be close and it's good by world Any thing closer than about 600 light years and it all over mate and even that is too dam close ID: 1563527 ·
