Document Summary
should be produced for example by black holes or exploding supernovae, but extremely weak. Joe weber: thought he could detect gravitational waves, measuring vibration in aluminum bar (signals, a story of failure - but story told by golem is about how scientists discuss an experiment they do not necessarily believe in. Important to read section sin the golem that list reasons why people didn"t list his experiments, and the things said in the meetings. Can it be considered a gravitational wave: convince community. *need to identify difference between a control and a confounding variable. ******finish copying: *human reasons making people accept/questioning results, made many errors that made people not believe him, came to consensus that his apparatus was not able to calculate gravitational waves. (like ray davis) Beyond the golem: used new technology using laser (instead of aluminum bar, got funding until mid 80s: publishing until 84.
