-"Let me introduce you to an experimenter who may actually be detecting and utilizing gravity waves today. For many years physicist[http://www.rexresearch.com/hodowane/rhysmo~1.htm  Gregory Hodowanec] in Newark, NJ has been detecting what he refers to as monopole gravity waves. These monopole signals, unlike the usually detected gravity waves, are relatively strong and more easily detected. Hodowanec says, "that monopole gravity waves have been detected for many years; it's what we are calling 1/f "noise" signals, flicker or background noise". He refers to his detected waves as scalar in nature, which means the waves are described in terms of magnitude alone. An example of a scalar field is the one of temperature. Gravitation has a scalar aspect. Gregory Hodowanec has developed a number of easily constructed circuits to utilize and detect these monopole gravity waves.
+'''Gregory Hodowanec''' (23 September 1921 – 2021) was an American research and development engineer who, after a career in the electronics industry, spent his retirement developing '''Rhysmonic Cosmology''' — an aether theory built on Max Planck's natural units — and building simple circuits he believed detected a class of '''scalar or "monopole" gravity waves'''. He is best known for proposing the use of an ordinary '''capacitor as a gravimeter''', and for the claim that the '''1/f "flicker" noise''' familiar to every electronics engineer is a cosmic gravitational signal rather than a property of the device.
-"In Hodowanec's cosmology, the universe is considered to be a finite, spherical, closed system. Monopole gravity waves propagate any distance in Plank time, which is about 5.4x10-44 seconds, therefore their effects appear everywhere almost instantly. These gravity wave signals are the sum total of the background flux of the universe, similar to the total summation of the earth's lightning signals I observed in New Mexico. Such signals could be a new window into the universe. They may reveal many aspects not observable with present-day electromagnetic techniques.<br />
+His work reached a wide amateur audience through the hobbyist electronics press, and it is chiefly through the replications of '''[[Bill Ramsay]]''' that it is documented on this wiki.
-"Gregory states that listening to the scalar gravity signals with the audio amplifier can be quite impressive. Some of the coherent "musical" sounds appear to come from the same direction of space on a daily basis. According to Hodowanec's theories, scalar-type radiation fields, as is the gravitation field, might be useful to transmit information "instantly" everywhere in the universe. At his location of 42 degrees N. Latitude, some of the detected sounds appear to originate from the Perseus and Auriga regions of our galaxy when those regions appear at zenith. Some of these signals might be of extra-terrestrial intelligence, and thus interest other experimenters in SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) to investigate this possibility. Such communication between different galactic cultures may not be limited by the long time intervals required by speed-of-light communication of radio." - [http://home.gwi.net/~erichard/fastlit.htm Faster Than a Speeding Light], E.

+==Biography==
-Alternate address: 45 Watson Avenue, West Orange, NJ 07052
+Hodowanec was born in Madeira, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Scranton. During the Second World War he served as a '''sergeant in the 42nd "Rainbow" Division''' and was awarded the '''Bronze Star'''. He afterwards took a degree in '''Physics at the University of Scranton'''.
-==Abstracts==
+His professional career was in electronics research and development, at '''National Union''', '''RCA''' and '''Edo Air'''. He held several United States patents, among them "Dark trace cathode-ray tubes and screens therefor" (granted 27 May 1958) and "Microwave Circuit With Coaxial Package Semiconductor Device" (granted 23 June 1970). He lived in New Jersey, latterly in West Orange, and died in 2021 at the age of 100.
-* 1989 - "[[Gravitational Impulses]]"
+He turned to cosmology after retiring, publishing from 1985 onwards — first the ''[[Rhysmonic Cosmology]]'' treatise (1985), then "[[All About Gravitational Waves]]" in ''Radio-Electronics'' (April 1986) and "[[Gravitational Impulses]]" in the ''Electronics Experimenters Handbook'' (January 1989), followed by a long series of privately circulated "Cosmology Notes" sent to a small group of correspondents. A two-volume compilation of his work was distributed through [[Hal Fox]]'s ''New Energy News''.
