Nov 18th, 2017 : Wrinkle in Space-Time
…and that was Pink Floyd with Dark Side of the Moon. It’s 8:41 a.m. EDT Aug. 17th, 2017, now for the traffic report.
Uh Oh, There’s been a big collision, I hope they get it cleared up by rush hour. Two Neutron stars collided only 130 million years ago. Quote:

So, they're saying that gravity is faster than light, and can prove it?

I think the gravitational effect begins before the stars actually meet.

That's how I read it, then the impact caused the light (gamma burst).

'; when they collided, a flash of light in the form of gamma rays was emitted and seen on Earth about two seconds after the gravitational waves.'
That's what I was referring to. Seemed important.

The gravitational waves were generated before the collision, they had a head start. Over 130 million years the Gamma rays caught up but the gravitational waves won by a nose.
