Hey physicists of /sci/,

General Relativity explains gravity as a fictitious force, but we're almost certain of the existence of gravity waves, and this leads me to some confusion.

If gravity waves are considered to be real, how is it that gravity is also considered a fictitious force?

>> No.4919824

OP still - is it perhaps that we only assume gravity is fictitious in General Relativity because we can only obtain a correct inertial reference frame by assuming an object in free-fall is stationary and that it's in fact the ground that's moving (despite there actually being a gravitational force)?

I said gravity waves, we have no yet detected gravity waves. No shit there is gravity, but we haven't yet confirmed that it's not a fictitious force. Please go waste your time elsewhere, I'm trying to learn.

>> No.4919843

>>4919826
thinking you are trying to get a blow job.

gravity is unseen, we cannot find the particles that make up gravity thus it is fictitious.

What the fuck are you on about? You've told me nothing I hadn't already stated, and seem unaware that as we speak billions of dollars are being poured into searching for gravity waves which we think we can detect (hence the funding).

>gravity is unseen

God damn..

Anyway, I've been studying for a while and mixed up some notes from Special and General Relativity, and believe I've understood everything correctly.

You guys are useless, enjoy wasting other people (not to mention your own) time for the rest of the evening!

>> No.4919863

question:
are gravity waves just variations in the gravitational field (propulsing at c) of a massive object caused by wiggling it around?
if yes, how can one be uncertain about their existence?

i dont know if youve fucking noticed, but zoology isnt often discussed
im the only one here who'd be likely to start threads on it, and seeing as i never needed any help with my studies, i never had to post any help-request threads!

theres probably a few times ive helped others with zoology related shit, but there wont be that many, because its rarely discussed!
i just meant that theres 1 that i speciically remember.
probably quite a few i've forgotten.
