Your opinions about Einstein@Home
I would like to take part in varifying one of the final predictions of General Relativity. By detecting gravity waves, it will provide futher validation of General Relativity and lead to a further understanding of "compact objects".

Perhaps in the near future the project can be extended to search for other sources of gravitational waves, such as those emitted when two neutron stars merge.
