| Your opinions about Einstein@Home | |
| I would really like to see gravity waves either proven or "disproven" because their existance would support much that we know about the universe, and their nonexistance would mean we need to reexamine so much. Personally, I'm hoping they will be detected (hence my participation in Einstein@home). Mostly because it would mean the general consensus was correct, but also because existance is much easier to prove than nonexistance. In fact, as far as I know, nonexistance of anything is pretty much impossible to prove. Strong evidence against something is "easy," yes, but completely disproving it, no. If in actuality this phenomenon simply does not occur, then people could be searching in vain for it forever and ever. The closest we could come to disproving it would be to come up with another model that fits better... which I think I probably couldn't do :-) That's why it'd be more exciting if we did observe them. Then we could just point and say, "See? There it is." | |
