did you not read the link?

go forth and deny ignorance. LOL

I am intrigued by this article.

Would we not see evidence of this in the form of bow shock signatures in dust clouds, or possibly seeing its effect? Or would the effect be so miniscule that we would have to, in effect, amplify it to observe it from afar?

Regardless, S and F for you. Nice find.

Gravity waves are theoretical only in the loosest term of the word.

Li/Torr created quite the stir with the implications of the theory behind the "podkletnov effect". Dr. Robert Baker was smart enough to see this. He quickly approached Li about her experiments with NASA, offering her a large sum of money to go work for ARL, continuing her research (500k). She disappeared soon afterwards.

Torr, I believe, was involved in that "pendulum" test during the eclipse, to test the gravitational anomoly that was detected in France several years before. The results of THAT experiment were never made public, and he also disappeared (i am typing from memory...don't have time to recheck right now. if i make a mistake i will correct a little later today).

Since then, Dr. Baker has turned up in China, with several of the other "key players" in grav research worldwide. They are building a High Frequency Gravitational Wave Detector and Generator. Yes, it is a theoretical concept, but one that has driven the US to send its eminent researcher to China to collaborate on Chinese soil, and one that China has allowed the US high level access to by using US scientists to head up the team.

Then you add in the effect created by Claude Poher and his "universon".

No, it may not be something that the overly cautious academic wing of science views as "proven". But don't tell this to the people with the money, or the people who are at the top of the field. They seem to be under some illusion.

I think its a very compelling theroy, im no expert so i dont know if its got holes in or anything.

Sad to relate, it has a hole in it the size of the Theory of Relativity.

Just 44.6 hours later, scientists were shocked to see that gamma ray telescopes orbiting the Earth picked up the arrival of the brightest gamma ray burst ever recorded! OP source

This would mean that gravity travels faster than light. Nothing travels faster than light--certainly not gravity, which propagates at the speed of light according to General Relativity. The theory in the OP linked article is wrong.

The table at the bottom showing the earthquakes next to grb recording is very convincing.

I'm afraid not. The data is cherry-picked to show a nonexistent correlation.

Gamma-ray bursts are observed at the rate of about one a day. This table from the US Geophysical Survey shows that the number of large earthquakes (magnitude 6.0 and higher) is actually about half this, while the number of minor earthquakes is much greater. There is no connection.

As for 'gravity waves from space', well, gravitational force follows an inverse square law, which means it declines in strength very rapidly with distance. 'Gravity waves from space' would be much, much weaker than those generated by the Earth, or even by the Sun at this distance from it. We wouldn't even feel them.

Anyway, we already know what causes earthquakes. Why do we need a new explanation when the old one is correct?
