  1. Hola, entiendo que no tienes instalado ningún mod tipo RemoteTech, ¿verdad? ¿Has comprobado que tienes la compresión de tiempo a x1? (sin compresión)
  2. According with general relativity they would have the speed of light in vacuum. As you know, everyhing in the universe is traveling at the speed of light, just balancing the speed in four dimensions, three spatial and time, moving along a Minkowski space. Since the graviton is stated would have mass zero, all its energy would be cinetic, as the photon. The difference with the photon is the nature of the force (the nature of the field) they transmit: electromagnetic for photons, gravity for gravitons. However, there are theories saying that a gravition with a mass slightly above zero would be an excelent explanation of Einstein´s cosmological constant with no need of the dark energy. However these theories are highly speculative, more if considering an increasing number of evidences of its existence through dramatical events like supernovae explosions or Doppler effects. But, who knows? And then, of course, you have string theory and quantum gravity. Too much for me
  3. I just googled it. Is the VIRGO interferometer you are talking about, right? So cool what I just read about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgo_interferometer
  4. As international convention, the Kármán Line delimits the outer space for every project or mission. The NASA decided to acknowlege astronauts to any person flying above 50km, probably because a training-grade denomination.
  5. I understand that you are talking about the Lisa Pathfinder mission, which we have scheduled to launch in 2015. It implements an interferometer capable of nanometer resolution, aimed to detect low frequency (1-30MHz) gravitational waves. It will check the variations of a reference mass with this instrument in the order of nanometer, but measuring the relative motion of both the spacecraft with the instrument and the reference mass, it is capable of measuring with a picometer resolution, which it is suspected it is an acceptable resolution to observe this gravtiational waves. By the way, you also have the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) comprised of two separated laboratories located in Lousiana and Washington states, both working in paralel for remove false positives (seismic events, instrument failures...)
  6. That it could be actually true. According to one of the most famous theories which are trying to "tune up" the Newton-Gauss-Birkhoff theorems for explaining things like the rotation curves of the galaxies removing the dark matter from the equations, gravity force never weakens to zero. This theory is called MOND and it replaces the inverse-square law with a little term of acceleration. This theory says that every point in a hollow mass sphere distribution (the universe, in this case), is subject to an small force towards the center of mass. This way, any point in this universe would affect, still relative to distance, with at least the force this potential gravitational acceleration provides to it. Check this out for more info: http://www.scielo.br/pdf/bjp/v39n3/15.pdf Randomness in quantum physics is indeed a problem which probably relies in the imposibility for us to observe anything below the Planck distance. It seems there is a lot of things happening there, a huge sea of events with tides, waves and posibly catastrophic events. The random behaviour we see is the foam of this sub-Planck events. You probably heard about the quantum foam: the closest you try to look (the narrowest you try to make your observation), the most frantic the universe gets (and still, this tiny events can lead to macroscopic effects, like the spontaneous generation of particle-antiparticle pairs causing the Hawking's Radiation at the event horizon of a black hole).
