Unlike most essay pages, anyone is welcome to contribute. We ask that you abide by the usual guidelines—do not remove non-vandal, non-parody, non-libelous material without discussing it first on the talk page, or explaining after-the-fact for serious problems.

:This is because the experimental capability to do so doesn't exist.
:This is because the experimental capability to do so doesn't exist.
:It should be noted that this sounds nothing like global warming. With global warming there have been an extremely large number of observations made and there is debate as to how the data should be interpreted. With gravitational waves there is simply no positive data.
:It has nothing to do with global warming.
2: ''The eccentricity of the Moon's orbit is increasing contrary to the theory of relativity''

27: ''Relativity requires different values for the inertia of a moving object: in its direction of motion, and perpendicular to that direction. This contradicts the logical principle that the laws of physics are the same in all directions.''

35: ''Minkowski space is predicated on the idea of four-dimensional vectors of which one component is time. However, one of the properties of a vector space is that every vector have an inverse. Time cannot be a vector because it has no inverse.''
:Time isn't a vector. It is a component of the vector space known as "spacetime".
