    Since you are still alive (and I trust well) would you care to reply to my questions in post 18?

    Can't recall at the moment

    I'm not saying these are major cosmic events, I'm simply stating that a total solar eclipse, e.g, isn't something that's usually neglected. Let's see..., I believe a total solar eclipse happened before the Six Day War and one before the Gulf War began as well. It's usually a sign of conflict. Do you believe that full moons have a psychological effect on humans and lower mammals? If you don't the moon has probably shaken your pea-sized brain too much to anyway.

    But you said this:

    The fact of the matter is that when something major happens in the cosmos, a total solar eclipse, e.g.


    You give a total solar eclipse as an example of something major happening in the cosmos. I'm sorry, but a major happening in the cosmos is synonymous with a major cosmic event.

    It would be simpler if you had just acknowledged some sloppy writing and we could have moved on.

    Get real.
    Give me a list of the major events that are associated with all the other total solar eclipses that have occurred since the Six Day War.
    Demonstrate that there is a non-chance correlation between major events and total solar eclipses.

    Alternatively admit that you are talking raw crap. This is a science forum, not a forum for unsubstantiated nonsense.

    Considering gravitational radiation either from orbital decay or distant supernovae is so weak when it reaches Earth that it will require incredibly sensitive equipment to detect, I don't think it will do anything to the Earth's orbit.

    To put into perspective how weak it is, for a supernova at the galactic centre, the fractional displacement is about 1000 times smaller than the size of the nucleus of an atom on a 1 metre bar. These are incredibly small displacements once the wave reaches Earth.

    Six Day War: June 5-10, 1967
    Total Solar Eclipses (nearest in date): 1966 NOV 12 & 1967 NOV 2
    Nope.

    Gulf War: 2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991
    Total Solar Eclipses (nearest in date): 1990 JUL 22 & 1991 JUL 11
    Also nope.
    Keep trying.

    Speaking of pea-sized brains...

    Eclipse data from here.

    Force, there is no effect on us, deal with it, you are wrong.

    The closest binary system of super dense objects is way too far away to affect us, end of story.

    Besides the fact that the wave does not actually affect the objects other than in the way that the object's appear elongated and disformed as the wave passes.

    Unlike water, space time has no mass, it cannot transfer any sort of force upon objects being elongated, so the wave would have no affect, end of story.
