電気技師のグレッグ・ホドワネックは、リズモニック宇宙論の理論を考案しました。彼はまた、独自に設計した重力波検出器 (GWD) の実験も行いました。このシンプルな装置は、マイクロ波放射の「コヒーレント変調」を検出します。
Hodowanec published his first report of SETI with Gravitational Signals using his GWDs (Radio Astronomy, April 1986): “The advantage of a possible gravitational technique for SETI over the radio technique is primarily one of time
of ‘propagation’ for these signals. The radio waves travel at the speed of light, but the gravitational signals (per the writer’s theories) are essentially instantaneous signals. Another advantage of the gravitational technique is the simplicity of the instrumentation required. As SARA members know, radio astronomy can be quite complicated.
“The gravitational wave detectors must rely largely on the Earth’s mass as a ‘shadow’ to enable the detection of gravitational radiation. Therefore, ‘objects’ or signals located in the observers’ zenith are best detected. Yet, the other areas are still ‘detectable’ especially with the aid of other ‘shadows’ such as the sun, moon, planets, etc.
