do all that. Europe could do it cheaper and faster. We can afford it, and it would make us richer. Even Bankers should be able to see this. And, as an aside, humans have the technology already to detect gravitational waves. Just barely, but it's been there for a while. None have been detected. Ever. That is *not* a bad thing. If we build a few really sensitive detectors and they detect nothing it might just lead to a loophole in General Relativity, a place where GR does not apply and something new and exciting has to come about. That *might* mean generating gravity ourselves, or generating anti-gravity, or masking gravity with some form of nullifying wall, or possibly faster-than-light travel. Like the Higgs Boson, not finding Gravity Waves, or not finding "Dark Matter" or not finding "Dark Energy" would be intensely interesting and just possibly universe-changing. What if gravity isn't *quite* spherically symmetrical on extremely large scales? What if on galactic scales of mass and time and distances it tends to focus itself just a little more into the fried-egg shape we think is so pretty? That would effectively eliminate the need for much "dark matter". And if gravity can be *shaped*... it's a small step from there to moving worlds. Isn't that worth the failure of a bank or three? It says in the article that the equipment will enable us to see almost back to the big bang & other equipment can see light going almost to
