    Two neutron stars in a binary system collided and warped space-time
    with waves promulgating at a speed greater than the speed of light
    (read the graphic) - 1.7 seconds faster than light over a period of
    4000 trillion seconds! Small difference but real. Light is the limit
    of the velocity of information but apparently not the speed of space
    time fabric warpage.

    Collisions like this create all elements heavier than iron. That
    includes all our gold. It's estimated that the amount of gold this
    cataclysm created was equivalent to a nugget the size of the Earth!

    Riveting, fascinating science.











    The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense
    tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light
    between two eternities of darkness.

    Demm, sah, I erred.

    The gravitational waves propogated at the speed of light.
