So-o-o: how's your astrophysics?
Regarding LIGO's latest gravity wave discoveries: it's generally believed by very competent scientists that the "Bweeep!" sound represented the final in-spiral of two black holes (each mass: greater than 4 x solar masses). They went from decaying orbits too a rapid in-spiral merging as a single mass.
OK. Now what?
How could the mass-enegy dynamic be described?
Was there a net increase in system energy?
How was the change of system energy manifested?
As greater heat content?
Greater mass than the sum of the initial bodies?
Greater vector velocity?
Greater rotation in reference to inertial space?
Was Einstein right?
Shouldn't be too tough to figure out. Lessee; where's my "Relativity for Dummies" book
