    It boggles the mind when you actually think about the measurements. I have a feeling this is going to be the gravitational lensing of the 2020s (I remember when GL had just been used to observe object. An astronomer I met was amazed I had even heard of it.)

    Surely gravitational waves should be impeded similarly to electromagnetic waves, albeit tremendously less effectively. Any mass that oscillates in a gravitational wave should produce a wave offset in phase that cancels out the main wave.

    What do you think about the prospect that gravity waves have caused enough variations in local spacetime on earth to throw off experiments that measure universal constants if they were sensitive enough - something with many significant figures - because the experimenters assumed consistent spacetime (or just previously known GR/SR corrections) ?

    My idea so I get to name it! What I mean is, no one has claimed it so I'm officially calling, "dibs." Voyager 1 is now in Milky Way's interstellar time or "Mikey's Time."
    "V-ger's" message has sped up now that it's outside our suns time bubble or, "Terran Time." It will be faster still when "V-ger" sends a message from beyond the Milky Way's time bubble. Then there's Outside the Local Group time bubble. So on and so on until we get outside any influence and into the, "True Interstellar Time Standard." Or, "T.I..." ;-P
    Now that "V-ger" is in interstellar space, it's also in the Milky Way's STANDARD, faster moving, interstellar time or "Mikey's Time." This can be proven by turning off everything except its clock and transmitter. Have "V-ger" read time for as long as possible. They WILL show the flow of time speeds up the further away you get from any celestial bodies. Until you reach the Milky Way's time standard or "Mikey's Time."
    •Our sun's time bubble: "Terran Time" we know and have measured.
    •Milky Way's time bubble or "Mikey's Time." The rate/flow of TIME outside any influence but within the Milky Way: We just got there and are still figuring. Wild guess I'd say time will increase in speed, now and until V-ger is outside the Ort cloud .00007-.0007% faster, maybe. Just for reference.
    •Local Group's time bubble or the rate/flow of time outside of any influence but within the Local Group: Name still open and unknown. Wild guess .08% to a couple seconds faster, maybe. Used just for reference.
    •Outside any influence in the, "True Interstellar Time Standard." (or T.I...) ;-P This name is NOT up for grabs. The rate/flow of time is fastest here. (Time flows fastest here so it's best to use a motor boat and hold tight. Always applies when you're in T.I....) ;-P
    A minute is a minute in all. It's the rate/flow I'm talking about. Heck, rivers of time flowing differently might explain dark energy and dark matter.
    The Milky Way's Interstellar Time Standard will be known as, "Mikey's Time."
    Pass it on, please and thank you.

    I've been posting this story for a while, now. Is it possible they're related?
    Time is fascinating. I worked the subway stations for nearly 10 years. From one end of the city to the other. Every so often I would notice the city would be saying that, "Today just flew by" or "The day was just dragging along." How can an entire city, with no interaction with each other until they used the subway, complain about the same time paradox unless it was effected by it? Maybe a time distorted bubble the earth passes through in its revolution around the sun. Maybe random waves of time distortion hitting the earth? Maybe they're given off by the sun. Maybe they're from outside our Terran system and reach us in intervals. ???? Ti-i-i-ime, is on my side. Yes, it is!

      Our sense of time is tied to awareness. In days when very little is happening, our brains call out for input, so we are more consistently aware, so the days seem longer. But on days when our brains are being constantly stimulated, we filter out the excess, so days seem shorter.

      @@parallaxnick637 If you can think of a better way to do a blind survey of an entire city, in the small window of opportunity, I'm all in. Until then, I invite you to spend a couple years in the subways, during rush hour and you'll see for yourself. Just listen as an entire city gets off of work and gets out of school. You'll see it's more than a, "coincidence of circumstances."

    • @michaelccopelandsr7120

      @@parallaxnick637 How about this? Dark Energy is rivers and bubbles of faster moving time or "Light Time". Dark Matter is rivers and bubbles of slower moving time or "Heavy Time."
      Mira, look, we see an electron orbit however many times a minute. We set that as our base reading, right? For our plain of existence, anyway. However, in these pockets of Dark Energy or "Light Time," that same electron now has readings of a billion times a minute because time is "light" here and passes a billion times faster. Or, energy where there shouldn't be energy / dark energy / Light Time. Dark energy IS "Light Time." It's the difference in TIME that we're seeing! The light from these galaxies have been aged because they are being viewed through pockets/bubbles/rivers of Dark Energy / Light Time or Dark Matter / Heavy Time.
      Now we look at the other side of the coin, Dark Matter or "Heavy Time."
      Mira, look, if, "Light Time," is faster pockets of time. It stands to reason, "Heavy Time," would be slower pockets of time, right? That same base electron now moves a billion times slower and appears to stand still. Get a pocket full of seemingly motionless nothing and you get a pockets/rivers/bubbles of dark matter or "Heavy Time." In this case, "starving of time," or slower pockets in time is the same as creating a vacuum in space. Since these pockets/rivers/bubbles of "Heavy time" are "starving of time" and everything outside these regions of dark matter are in a faster flow of time, it makes it appear dark matter is attracting when really it's just a vacuum, IN TIME, trying to equalize.
      Making it stand to reason, by my, "I'm not smart enough to give anything more than this simplified reasoning, that Dark Matter is "HEAVY TIME" and Dark Energy is "LIGHT TIME." Maybe. Now think about this. As light travels through the universe and passes through these pockets, bubbles or rivers of Heavy Time or Light Time, doesn't that alter that appearance of this beam of light? Doesn't that beam of light that is say, 40 million years old, now look like it's 100 million years old? Or vice versa, a 100 million years old beam of light now looks 40 million years old. If I'm right, it would explain why these 6 "old" galaxies are being discovered. We are observing them through rivers/pockets/bubbles of different flowing time.
      Also, if I'm right and someone proves it, you must name it after me and give me a cut of the Nobel prize winnings. (25% is fine) Pass it on please and thank you. ;-P
      P.S. I may have gotten the names, LIGHT and HEAVY, backwards. Thanks again and don't worry, where I come from, crazy is a compliment.
