Hi,

Would one of you physics gurus please check out the April 1986
issue of Radio Electronics, page 53, article `Gravity Waves?',
by Gregory Hodowanec, and tell me if this is an April Fool's
article? The author contends that monopole gravity waves exist,
and that they cause the 1/f noise in electronic circuits. He
contends that gravitational effects propogate instantaneously.
He goes into an odd cosmology called `Rhysmonic Cosmology'.
He presents schematics for gravity wave detectors using not much
more than op-amps and a capacitor as the detector.
All of this sounds rather crack-pot to me, but I'm not qualified
to understand his arguments. Would one of you please look at them?

					Many Thanks
