homework and exercises - Is it possible to produce gravitational waves artificially?





  1. Why don't they make a ball with irregularities, say the size of a tennis ball, then spin it very rapidly, so it would produce gravitational waves like a spinning star with irregularities on it? Is that not possible with our current technology?




  2. Also since gravitational waves can cause time dilation, wouldn't we be able to make some sort of a time machine with that concept?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
