Not sure if this has been posted or talked about before today (so apologies if it has) but I found this interesting.

There is also am article in New Scientist about it (issue 2744).

The pdf is 29 pages which I've downloaded but have yet to read through completely as I'm at work.

Fascinating and a new direction that could prove to be revolutionary!

Anyone wanting to read more on this, the New Scientist article on the web is here ...

Hey Steven, there's no mention of gravity waves in the entire article...

It doesn't need to.
It's creating waves on its own.

Oh for sure...an alternate suggestion to GR is bound to create a disturbance.
