I'm aware of that.
Charge already there diamond is just the same charge, but it is usually a lot less mobile than it is in a metal.
Of course you did. Jan Panteltje would also have incorporated his favourite hobby horse, Le Sage gravitational particles.
Sadly, nobody bothers to teach your simplified mechanism to students around the world.
Every population has it dregs. You seems to want to self-identify as part of those dregs.
Nobody calls gravity waves "waves of gravity". And a displacement of a small fraction of the diameter of a proton isn't going produce any perceptible "interference pattern". There's something going on there that can be measured, but you won't be able to perceive it as any kind of visible pattern.
But "a displacement" is many displacements. Some waves lasted 100 seconds. The laser bounced between mirrors while displacements between the waves leading edge and its trailing edge added up.
So you haven't got a clue what you are talking about?
Of course I have one! I described a vernier caliper.
Don't annoy Sloman by being right.
Or by having ideas.
That was more satisfying. I have two theories, one a load of verbiage with analytical support. Randomly nested Penrose tile universes could be in there. Both will annoy Bill Sloman.
‘Attractive force’ gravity between masses requires at least two sources, and they’re the same stuff, mass, at each end. Why would identical gravity be repelled by its own source stuff to attract other stuff? Stuff’s gravity probably ought to repel all stuff, because that’s what gravitational monopoles would do. The force reaches across huge expanses to pull stuff together. It isn’t just there at other stuffs, it gets there. And it has to keep getting there to stay there. Forces aren’t waves, but these forces piggyback on lightspeed spacetime waves. Now, if one stuff’s force reaches other stuff, but other stuff’s force fails to arrive from the other side, the whole gravity may fail! Or maybe the result would be half-gravity. I would expect standing waves to appear at least somewhere amongst all the stuff. There should be something special at the nodes. Something like universes, with their own stuff and waves and nodes, and so it never ends. No gravity at all can be transported across standing waves to other stuff where it needs to be! There will be not-gravity in that situation. I have a hunch - spacetime curvature IS standing waves. ‘Repulsive force’ gravity has one source - either the mass at one side, or curvaceous spacetime at the other. They’re in intimate contact.
You won't.
John Larkin is very attached to his "ideas". It's hard to imagine why. He doesn't have many, and they aren't all that attractive, of the sort only a mother could love.
Except that they don't.
And what has LIGO got to do with a vernier caliper? Relying on false analogies may make you feel self-confident, but learning a bit about the stuff you are posting about would work better, if you had that capacity.
Incoherent babble is a waste of bandwidth, but we get a lot of it here and learn to ignore it
<snipped the incoherent babble>.
Ideas are fun and lead to products that sell.
We have a folder called Ideas, and it has, so far, about 60 sub-folders with specific ideas for products. Maybe 90% are dumb ideas, so the challenge is to identify the 10% of decent ones for further development. We have a process for that.

A displament of 0.001" does produce a perceptible interference pattern. I don't have a LIGO, I have a Starrett.

The diameter of a proton is rather smaller than that.
But not all that well. You don't serve any kind of mass market.
It's called "cold calling". There's no idea so dumb that some customer won't fall for it. The art is in finding ideas that look good to lots of people. Hewlett and Packard looked as if they had mastered it for while, but they don't seem to have been able to pass it on to their successors.
Tom Peters wrote a book called
They use interference patterns.
My vernier caliper will struggle.
Not as good as a Starrett.
A small company that designs and manufactures in San Francisco can't serve a high-volume low-margin market. I don't want to.
Most of our business has come from people cold-calling US.
HP did great as long as it was a technology-driven company that had ideas. What wrecked it was a pants-suited business type who didn't understand that.

I'm sure you like to think that.
You understand what a lucky company looks like, and think you know what makes them lucky.
I didn't hallunicate the calls or the products.
Well, we did once get a lot of business from a guy walking into my office totally unexpected.
He threw a LeCroy module on my desk and said "If you can do this, I'll buy it." We could and he did.
"Luck favors the prepared mind."

But you don't document the effort you put into telling people you exist. You've been the most prolific poster here for about thirty years now, and you mention other activities that make you visible. Advertising costs money, but there a cheaper ways of reminding people of your existence.
Presumably you could give him something that the LeCroy module offered more cheaply than LeCroy did and without some of the bell and whistles that LeCroy threw in to appeal to a wider market.
A Tektronix module might have been harder to match.
Actually
What he actually said - if wikipedia is to be believed - was ""In the field of observation, chance favors only the prepared mind".
That isn't quite the same thing. The Australia equivalent is "you have to work bloody hard to get lucky".
What annoyed him was the poor quality and bad service of the LeCroy stuff. It would arrive broken and took months to get fixed.
We bid the same as the old LeCroy modules, and next bid they cut their price in half to kill us. Harry disqualified them on some technical ground.
Well, he said whatever it was in French.
I think the opposite. You've got to be relaxed to be lucky.
