I like the rubber sheet analogy for how the detectors work. Gravity waves are ripples in the sheet, they can not be detected directly as everything on the sheet is being streched and compressed in the same way so to the observer on the sheet nothing is happening; but if you send out light in two directions at right angles and wait for it to be bounced back off two mirrors equidistant away, if space time is being compressed and stretched in one direction and not the other (as will happen with gravity waves originating form a single point) then actually the light will not take the same length of time to make the two 'identical' length journeys.
Of course in reality your rubber sheet has 3 spacial dimensions and a temporal one but the analogy becomes harder to get your head round if you try to think in 4 dimensional space time....
I still think that boooooiiiiinnnnnggggg sound could be caused by a couple of squirrels having a good time at one end of the apparatus.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Further to my post last week...my first shift is on Sunday!We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

Apparently they got 'The feel' from my cv that I was the right person. Weird really as I threw the normal cv rules out of the window for the version I gave them and injected a bit of me and my personality into it.
Oh and absolutely no bigging myself up or selling myself at all. Just the facts...I really don't like boasters and I was never ever going to do that sort of thing.We made it!
