AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the disappearance of Kip Thorne's PH237 Gravitational Waves course from his website, despite the link still being available. The original poster is seeking alternative access to the course materials, specifically the video classes. A suggestion was made to use the Wayback Machine to find archived content, but it only retrieved HTML pages without the video links. The user expressed gratitude for the help but noted that the archived resources were insufficient for their needs. The search for a viable solution to access the course continues.

I had been working through ph237 Gravitational Waves through Kip Thorne's website over the past year or so. It's been a few months since I visited and now the course is gone (but the link to the course is still there curiously). I tried emailing Thorne but as yet received no reply.

Anybody know of a mirror to this link, or have some other means to get access to the course (which was comprised of all the classes on video).

TIA

If for some reason you are not able to access a site or page, use the http://www.archive.org/index.php" to find it archived. (Copy and past URL.) Of course, if it's a site that's regularly updated and you're looking for the latest info, it won't be very useful

Neutrino,

Thanks for your help, learned something new. Unfortunately, the only thing archived was the html pages, none of the links to the videos are archived, so still looking.

Oh. Sorry about that.
 
Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
