172.68.140.147 04:57, 27 January 2024 (UTC)The detection of radiation from the tower microwave would be very surprising as the tower is shielded on the windows and in the walls and the dish surface blocks the line of sight to the receiver in the cabin at the prime focus. However it was later determined that the Woolshed microwave was also in use at the time, unrelated to these tests, and might potentially have been the source of the peryton.
Clearly, one of the LIGO observations was a real gravitational wave while the other was just the microwave door slamming ;) Solomon (talk) 07:01, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
I like that the comic is both a story in four pictures and a 2x2 grid of combinations. --172.71.99.220 07:52, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
