      @neiltyson do gravity waves also exhibit the wave particle duality ?

      @aacastilloxD Yes. Hypothesized as “Gravitons”. But not yet detected as such. Only as waves.

          @neiltyson could we be closer to a quantum theory of gravity ?

          @neiltyson @aacastilloxD Neil, are they detecting "waves" or a 50ms "pulse"? Is there a transverse component seen, or just longitudinal?

          @neiltyson i never understood why wave and particle are treated so differently. Waves are made of particle, yes?

          @neiltyson if a spinning disk does not produce G-Waves how can they be the wave duality of gravitons if all matter has gravity?

          @jpaynesae1991 @neiltyson Likely- with future advanced & much more sensitive detectors they become 'gravity telescopes', which is very cool.

          @neiltyson given the issues with quantum theory would string theories be a more reasonable solution for possible graviton observation?
