Thank you Joe for the links. As a university teacher of physics (including relativity theory) for many decades I too was excited by this discovery. You must be particularly thrilled in view of your own contributions to the area. And to satisfy the list's topic-policeman perhaps your new JTgrav mod

Hi Joe, Thanks Joe for taking the time to do such a thorough editing job on Kai’s first pass! I hope that the algorithms look better in the final product than they do in the pdf. My aesthetic sense is calibrated for the LyXLaTeX look - these Microsoft Word/MathType manuscripts hurt my eyes…

Is it "luck" or misinterpretation of what they are actually seeing? There's an implied assumption in the paper that they are seeing gravity waves as though there is no possible other explanation. I'm reminded of what happened in the 80's when universities were claiming galactic gamma sources but it
