| Your personal background. | |
| Hi, my name is Karl-Rainer Anton, 59 years old, and I studied Physics in Munster, Cologne and Mainz. But finally I spent nearly all my vocational time with computers. Most important for me is to concretize my personal notion about the universe. Unfortunately I don't do very well in mathemathics. So my brain feels like a sponge absorbing all the latest results in cosmology research. I'm sure we could find gravitational waves together. May be, we find out that gravitational wave energy is the candidate for dark energy, blowing up the universe acceleratedly. Does there exist a 5th interaction which may 'fatigue' gravitational waves the same way as light suffers from gravity? We should consider that we could only detect the spheric integral over the gravitational wave bombardement. Think of a photo multiplier, which we would align to the sky without using a telescope! What could we find - the sun, the moon, the brightest planets, bright comets and bright novas. Most of the stars will vanish in the undergound. That's our situation with gravitational waves... | |
| Your opinions about Einstein@Home | |
| As I don't believe in the use of the SETI project (chance very low, not really informative even if we find an alien signal; to study aliens better study the ones on earth... ;-)) I think Einstein@Home could be very useful to gain knowledge about the universe. If, dreaming of the birth of the first GUT ever developed in the Local Group (???), we want to push forward experimental physics to the unknown, there are two major fields to do so: Particle Accelerators in the Tiny and Gravitational Wave Detectors in the Huge. My very hope is to melt these experiments in Quantum Gravity in the near future. Let's fight for any nanosecond towards the Big Bang! My suggestions: Make optical (really false color) images from the gravitational wave detector output and process these pictures with analogue laser techniques (holography). May be such a laser post processor could be integrated into the detector itself? Good Luck to the project. KR | |
