As I write, the Wikipedia entry on gravitational waves is telling me "Gravitational-wave astronomy has the advantage that, unlike electromagnetic radiation, gravitational waves are not affected by intervening matter."
It seems to me that this really ought not be true, that surely some kind of "damper effect" for example ought to be constructable, maybe even frequency modifying components, heck why not even capacitors, which for example one might build in the form of objects that use gravitational waves as power-sources akin to how solar panels use electromagnetic waves as power-sources, but the gravitational-wave capacitor would convert the harvested energy into actual mass rather than into electricity.
Obviously that particular component would require a means to convert energy into mass, but hey, mass exists so very likely "someone or something" had to do it if only "once upon a time".
Since we are here, and maybe even also because electrons are among the things purported to have mass, why do we even need to regard gravitational waves as fundamentally different from electromagnetic waves?
If electromagnetic waves arise from the movement of electrons, which themselves supposedly have mass, is it impossible that despite the purported relative-weakness of gravity a relative-largeness of the frequency of the motion could impart energy to quanta of electron-movement-signature-wave far higher than the energy normally attributed to the lower-frequency movement of that much mass?
Which of course brings us to the question of whether there might be some kind of upper limit to frequency, at least while higher frequency corresponds to smaller wavelength; at somewhere around the Planck scale a given dimensionality universe might only be able to constrainingly contain some limit density, maybe something along the lines of one Planck-energy per Plank-volume - or if not that before normalisation, maybe whatever the actual numeric values of that are could be normalised into a Planck-scale in which max possible frequency is one of the numbers normalised to unity.
Thusly maybe as others have suggested all the "forces" become one force at high enough values of something-or-other; in this instance all wave-media becoming revealed as one, all waves being ripples in the same underlying whatever.
Here I am evidently thinking along the lines of the fourth distinction, CAN, being space-like, hinting possibly that time-like is going to involve a fifth distinction, which might turn out to be the one I like to label DO.
I used the sequence IS MEANS SO CAN DO in the title of this post, but maybe it is time to hark back to part of my inspiration coming from the Tree of Life of "Western" occultism, wherein simple numeric sequence is not the only route between distinctions; on the diagram known as the Tree of Life in that discipline there is actually a direct route between SO and DO, though I cannot recall off-hand what nice pithy label I came up with for it "way back when".
Thinking of the times long ago when I was coming up with my own labelling scheme for such distinctions or nodes of neural networks or whatever those "darn things" really are or correspond to, the main label that comes to mind is the one I assigned to the "path" ("Atu", "trump") shown between WOULD and THAT; I recall that I labelled that card / path / atu / trump / distinction / whatever DISCRIMINATE, likely partly because the use of the word "that" has a tendency to be used to discriminate some discriminate thing among some collection or assemblage or theoretical multiplicity of things and Mercury, the planet attributed to what I have labelled WOULD, is considered a messenger of those who judge if not directly him or her self to be an ultimate judge.
It might help I suppose to remind the reader at this point that the Atu or Trump or label often applied to that path or card or concept or "whatever it really is" "if it is real at all" "or even if it is not" is along the lines of Judgement, even if sometimes seeming to pertain primarily to some particular ultimate "time of judgement" like Crowley's label The Aeon seems to for example or many of the pictorial depictions in other card-decks do.
I did in fact long ago come up with pithy labels for all the paths or trumps or atu or whatever you like to call them of the Tree of Life and look forward to finding among my archives a record of what those were so I can review them and perhaps thereby refresh my memory of the kind of thinking going through my mind back then.
Now that I am thinking in terms of enumerated distinctions, I begin to wonder whether those paths between Sephiroth are or would be or ought to be something distinct from the first ten distinctions if, as I so far am doing, I try to set up the ten Sephiroth (not counting the "shadow Sepiroth D'aath" said to live in the "abyss" between the ideal and the actual, commonly in English labelled Knowledge) as the first ten distinctions of a Laws of Form based set or series of distinctions.
Will the paths turn out to be something fundamentally different from distinctions?
Or merely derivative or compound distinctions, results of whatever the fundamental distinctions turn out to be?
