Holy confusing terminology Batman! At first I thought this was going to be some nonsense based on gravitational waves: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_wave But no, it is about gravity waves: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_wave I'm familiar with both concepts, but was unaware that the term "gravity waves" had been applied or defined for the second concept. Needlessly confusing. Who is in charge of these things and how can I get their license to define terms revoked?
