Gary Stephenson - High-Frequency Gravitational Wave (HFGW) Research Scientists & Conference Events

Gary Stephenson discusses key scientists in the field of High-Frequency Gravitational Wave research and provides an overview of 2003 Mitre HFGW Conference, the 2005 - '08 ISNPS STAIF Conferences, and the 2017 HFGW Workshop in Chengdu, China. High-Frequency Gravitional waves (GW) are a firm prediction of Einstein’s general theory of relativity, but — due to their weakness — have never been directly detected experimentally. Measurement of their indirect effects on the orbits of certain binary neutron stars was a major experimental triumph, and merited the award of a Nobel Prize in Physics; these measurements agree with theory to better than 1%. Applications to space technology of High-Frequency Gravitational Waves, (HFGWs), defined as having frequencies in excess of 100 kHz, include: providing: (1) multi-channel communications (both point to point and point to multipoint through all normal material things – the ultimate wireless system); (2) a remote means for causing perturbations to the motion of objects such as missiles (bullets to ICBMs), spacecraft, land or water vehicles or craft; (3) remote coalescing of clouds of hazardous vapors, radioactive dust, etc. by changing the gravitational field in their vicinity; (4) the potential for through-earth or through-water "X-rays" in order to observe subterranean structures, geological formations, create a transparent ocean, view three-dimensional building interiors, buried devices, etc.; and (5) the potential for remotely disrupting the gravitational field in a specific region of space. The utilization of a possible HFGW telescope as a navigational aid by viewing the anisotropic or patterned HFGW relic cosmic background above, on, or under the ground without reliance on GPS satellite signals is also noted.
