    The acceleration of an object in a vacuum such as a star in space is a constant and is equal to the acceleration of the expansion of the universe, This effect creates the elasticity of time and space through the polarity of the equilibrium. Gravitational waves and time dilation are created when acceleration disrupts the acceleration of an object or space in a vacuum, creating vibrational waves of distortion in the equilibrium or elasticity of space. The triangle in curve space extends as a result of the acceleration and expansion of the universe, creating the elasticity of time space itself.

    We can prove we are ascending through space with the example of reduced gravity aircrafts they provide brief near-weightless environments for training astronauts, conducting research, and making gravity-free movie shots. They create this environment by travelling the same speed as the planets ascension through space effectively cancelling each other out recreating the effect of the original state 0 Gravity. This also proves Gravity is the product of Acceleration and both forces Acceleration (cause) and Gravity (effect) are equivalent in nature.

      The effect is rather small; the amplitude at the length scale of LIGO is expected to be no more than 10⁻¹⁸ m. Measuring the distance to the Moon the (rare) deviation would be something like 10⁻¹⁶ m - still smaller than a proton.

    The detection of gravitational waves has opened a new era in astrophysics, offering insights into the most energetic and mysterious events in the universe, like black hole mergers and neutron star collisions. The Einstein Telescope, a next-generation gravitational wave observatory, aims to revolutionize our understanding of these phenomena. With its advanced sensitivity, the Einstein Telescope is designed to detect gravitational waves with far greater precision and over a wider range of frequencies than current detectors. This will allow scientists to observe deeper into the universe's history, potentially uncovering signals from the early stages of the cosmos and providing crucial information about the nature of black holes, dark matter, and the fabric of spacetime itself.

    Great speaker, very audience friendly.
    One request that I would make to RI and its lecturers: please reduce the time you spend on the "preface" and tell us more about things we don't know yet. I don't wish to come across as haughty, but we must draw a line at some point and declare that to watch this lecture you must be familiar (at the pop-science level) of GR, or QM, or genetics, or basic chemistry etc., for you to appreciate all the new and exciting things that are being done. And if you are not, please watch one of the earlier lecturers on the topic.
    There are just too many lectures that get to the meat of the topic only in the last 10 minutes or so. For example, in this lecture, I would have liked to learned about how the ET differs from LIGO; why different sources rumble in different ways; what the difficulties in modelling different kinds of sources are in more detail.
    Again, I don't wish to come off as rude. This is a feeling that I've had for quite some time and thought I'd get it across now.

    Errors in special relativity:
    According to relativity,
    I have been told that an object shrinks in length as its velocity increases,
    Then, for example, if a disk of radius 1m is rotated at the limit speed at which it is not destroyed by centrifugal force,
    What is the circumference of the disk?
    What would Einstein say to the above question?
    In my opinion, in this situation, the special theory of relativity is broken.
    It is inconceivable that the disk would contract in the direction of rotation.

    Errors in general relativity:
    Gravity is stronger near the poles than near the equator.
    According to general relativity, time is slower where gravity is stronger than where it is weaker.
    However, for example, the time at longitude 0 is the same from the North Pole to the South Pole and does not change no matter how much time passes.
    Therefore, it is obvious that general relativity is false.
