When I think about it, Today's science first has to be able to show methods for slowing down, stopping, reversing (and speeding up, if slowing down can be accomplishd) plain old electromagnetic waves with plain old electromagnetic devices.
Once we can do all of that, then and only then will we be ready for Gravity Waves, and that's if they exist exactly as speculated upon...
Yes, I know there are some experiments with equipment costing billions of dollars that measure things on a scale which is unobtainable to most average science practitioners, and as a result of those incredibly small measurements, Gravity Waves are said to exist...
The problem I have is that if I can't perform an experiment with equipment costing less than say, $1000, then how am I supposed to verify, much less reason correctly, about Gravity Waves?
It's like today's News Media -- where they claim something happened thousands of miles away -- but I wasn't there, I didn't see it, I don't have firsthand witnessing of the event -- how do I know it happened, and if I allow that it happened, then how do I know that it happened exactly as the other people who allegedly did, claim?
A Tesla Coil, on the other hand, can be built for under $10, and allows me to indpendently verify, firsthand, by direct experimentation -- all of Tesla's theories!
So, how do I do the same thing with Gravity Waves, if they indeed exist as described by people with billions of dollars of equipment, and the ability to take measurements several orders of magnitude tinier than I am able to?
How do I know that the Gravity Wave scientists -- are telling the truth?
But more importantly, how do I know that the Gravity Wave scientists -- are reasoning correctly?
