The article lost me here. What sort of nonlocal effects? And how would that explain them? 138.38.24.108 ( talk) 09:09, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
Hey - this page is out of date; Gravitational Waves have been detected. So says Michael Abramson. 50.35.107.122 ( talk) 23:59, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
The opening paragraph gave me the impression that it was written by someone who does not actually know the subject. For example, do supernovae actually liberate gravitational waves? I don't think so; a supernova is a spherically-symmetrical event, and to generate GW there has to be change in the quadrupole moment. Two black holes orbiting their common centre of mass are sufficiently unsymmetrical; many other processes are not. Philip Trueman ( talk) 04:40, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Over the coming few days I will restructure and add more content to this page. While I am familiar with this topic I haven't been an active Wikipedia editor so any comments in good faith are appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharanbngr ( talk • contribs) 22:50, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
Today, news broke that researchers have detected direct evidence of the GWB ( [1] [2]). There will be a press conference tomorrow with further details. I will add a brief sentence mentioning this in the detection section. Since I'm not very familiar with the subject, I will keep from making more substantive edits. It would be great if an expert could bring this page up to date with these most recent findings. Rondo Burleske ( talk) 01:24, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
More updates have been done and a nomination made at ITN. Andrew🐉( talk) 09:08, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
