An Enormous Gravity ‘Hum’ Moves Through the Universe

Astronomers have found a background din of exceptionally long-wavelength gravitational waves pervading the cosmos. The cause? Probably supermassive black hole collisions, but more exotic options can’t be ruled out.

I always felt those deep Buddhist bells were tuned to something. :think:

Thanks for the post Gary. I agree with the Buddist bells. There is a lot more going on out there that we don't know about. A very wondrous place.
