>From a friend up north, This is about Joe Taylor's new findings:

Hi,
   Just in case there is someone on my list who might enjoy watching the
real press conference about yesterday's announcement of the scientific
finding of gravity waves in the universe, below is the URL for the YouTube
playback. Yes I know some of you don't have the ability to watch YouTube
videos. But you can go to almost any
library and have one of their staff start the video on a computer there. (
In a library, some headphones
may be required.)

The press conference replay is available at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEPIwEJmZyE

   I have watched it and the quality is very good.  The computer graphics
that explain how the instrumentation
works and about what gravity waves are like are all very good.  Being a  ham
radio operator, if you understand
wave interference, just think of gravity waves as if they are like
electromagnetic waves and the two black holes
are radiating waves as they oscillate in their orbits around each other.

   The first 47 minutes of the YouTube video can be skipped (slide the
little bar dot to the right with your mouse).
What they did was set up the video cameras and mute the audio until the
presenters came into the room.
