Profile: Frederick Chait

Your personal background.
Im 63 years old. I am interested in space, physics, cosmology, astronomy.
I am interested in ET but I think that gravity waves have a greater priority because of the inpact on physics, astronomy, and cosmology. I have an engineering and physics education but work with computers now.
Your opinions about Einstein@Home
I think that gravaty waves are important. There is a theory that the force of gravity is weak because the gravity leaks into parallel universes. I doubt that this is true, but gravity waves would seem to be a way to find out. If gravity leaks then gravity waves should leak also. This would result in a leakage of energy. If we can measure the energy of the gravity waves and compare this to another means of detecting the energy lost,( orbit decay, or rate of spin decay ) then we can see if there could be a match. I the conservation of energy works for gravity waves, the there could not be much leakage.
