We use GR exclusively at our observatory for all kinds of   observations.   We basically just build observation-specific "instruments" as we need them. We had U of Toronto undergrad students last year use milky-way Doppler observations to measure the rotation curve and infer the existence   of Dark Matter (because the rotation curve deviates from a strictly-Newtonian/Keplerian model by enough that it implies that either there's   more mass there than we can see "dark matter", OR gravitation doesn't work on large scales the way we think it does). > > > >> On Aug 25, 2026, at 8:03 AM, Marcus Müller <mmueller@gnuradio.org> wrote: >> >> Hi, dearest and most enduring Mailing List in the world of SDR, >> >> I just noticed the mailing list archives stretch back to July 2001, so that marks a quarter century of history! >> >> In fact, activity on the mailing list doesn't even seem to start at that point; the first "proper" email in the archive is already a reply, but we just don't have any history before that. >> >> So, looking forward to the next three quarters of witnessing FOSS SDR be successful, >> Marcus >> >
