lmk what you thought
low-frequency “ripples” (2–8 Hz) appeared in the strain data after the main merger signal, dampening over time. These don’t align with general relativity’s predictions for black hole ringdowns but fit neatly with REDS’s proposal that spacetime “echoes” arise from energy ricocheting between dimensions. The damping rates (how quickly the echoes fade) also match REDS’s math when accounting for higher-dimensional leakage. Of course, I’m acutely aware that detector noise or glitches can mimic such signals, so I’ve cross-checked against known instrumental artifacts and found no overlap.
