Is this going to revolutionize astronomy?

>revolutionize
Probably not. It might be fun, but gravitational wave interferometry it is not.

It's literally mentioned in that video. The problem is you need to be way too far away. With Earth you don't.

That's exactly what this is doing. It will be amazing if it works.

You need to place it at 550 AU for this to work. Earth telescope sounds like a far better idea.

so the earth becomes the aperture of the "telescope"?
why not a moon telescope? earth has tonnes if interference from raido signals etc.

oh i see, the atmosphere bends the light around the earth into focus. moonscope has no atmosphere so wont bend the light. why not use jupiter? jupiter has atmosphere and is fucking massive.

He talks about using other planets in the video. Potentially we can use gas giants for this too but obviously Earth orbit is the first step.

it's crazy enough that we should investigate it more, even showing that it doesn't work would be valuable so we don't make the same mistake again.

there's more to astronomy than astrophysics.
