Actually I was referring to you, Potter! Your posting record
was a dead give-a-way.

I'm rather surprised the LIGO technicians haven't got a
tuned resonator (so far as I know), that's how human ears
work. Inside the ear is a lot of tuned hairs that stimulate
the brain based on frequency and amplitude.
While I personally do not understand the reality of g-waves
apart from a sort of spacetime continuum experiment, I'd
certainly contribute to refining the experiment.

For example (crude), we can have 1000's of reflectors at
the ends of the LIGO pipes, each one tuned to respond to
a given harmonic, like our ear works, hey we're in this,
http://www.trak4.com/earco/index.html
(listen to the loons at the bottom)

The measure of resonation alone even if seismological,
would be 1st class science. I mean, just because we may
not detect g-waves yet, we might listen to earth, perhaps
listen to how the tides induced into the tectonic current.

That's why I'm a pro LIGO, g-wave skeptic, gotta admire the
beautiful detection the fella's are building.

For those reasons, I vote to keep improving LIGO but with
a more larger spectrum of possible applications.

the only reason i dont break you into pieces with words its because
of youre age. hate will never give you a clear sight no matr how hard
u try.
i bet you admire hittler, the worst nightmare that a great nation
suffer in its
history!. death, pain and sorrow for millions of people.

not worst that waisting a life without kindness and respect
for others.

but in i way, that is what a laser interferometer is
but in the range where the gw can be detected!
lasers have a very short wavelenght and by
totaly canceling each other the only way a displacement
can happen is by a gravity wave passing through.

Yes Ray, that's what I understand too. I lean toward electronics
so I provide a link to,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_circuit#Super-regenerative_receiver

I get into serious super-regenerative circuitry, like this, from the
link,

"However, recent experiments have shown that the self quenched super
regenerative circuit may be operated at a level in between the
regenerative and super-regenerative states. At these levels, something
very interesting happens: A received narrow band FM (RF) signal can be
set to heterodyne with the super regen detector's RF oscillations such
that sum and difference frequencies are produced. The difference
frequency, if close to the detector's quenching oscillation frequency,
will lock onto and FM modulate the quench frequency. This produces a
large variation in gain which exactly follows the FM modulation of the
received signal. The gain variation creates a frequency to amplitude
conversion (FM detection) of very high efficiency. To date, this
effect has only been studied by electronics experimenters but could
eventually lead to very high frequency, ultra low power FM receivers."

I'm one of them, "electronics experimenters", so I respect resonation
too,
and can improve LIGO.
