- Elsewhere I have addressed this question. I have accepted the statement
- that plane wave solutions of GR exist on faith. My question relates to
- wave
- solutions with a symmetry appropriate to the problem under examination
- here, radiation from the PSR 1913+16 system (I'm not sure I've got that
- number right, but you know the one I mean). The radiation from that
- system
- cannot be plane waves.
