In Cronos’ report [URL=“http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2095/what-is-the-speed-of-gravity”]http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2095/what-is-the-speed-of-gravity he states that in ten years we might have an answer to LISA’s gravity quest.
“LISA is almost guaranteed to have unambiguous observations within a few seconds of it being turned on, but that’s about a decade in the future.” (Post written in 2003, see bottom of the page)
So… It’s been ten years. Has LISA been turned on? What are the observations?
Thanks
Thanks!
Wow, was that that long ago?
And while LISA is currently dead (there are attempts to revive it, or something very similar, with a new name, but don’t hold your breath), the LIGO project is still progressing very close to on schedule (eerily so, in fact: It’s almost unheard of for big research projects like that to go according to plan). So, keep watching this space.
