Questions about gravity ripples :

First question is : Do gravity ripples exhibit doppler shifts ?

awesome question !

Not sure
.... but I'll see your question and raise you.

Does "spooky action at a distance" exhibit Doppler......
Best estimates suggest entanglement occurs at piC ( 3.1415927 X C )
hehe

Gravity waves ( http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints/64/ ) are not the same as gravitational waves ( http://www.gq.com/story/einsteins-gravitational-waves-explained-for-dummies ).

Intuitively, if gravitational waves are detected as a wave motion, then it is logical that doppler effect would be applicable in the form of frequency change due to shift (such as gravitational waves detected from two black holes merging in another receding galaxy).

Entangled objects should not be expected to relate to any doppler idea (IMO) as I think what's going on in that case is something like John Wheeler's theory about conservation of momenergy (ie, boundary of a boundary).

My reply in another thread

Anything with "rest mass" of zero travels at the speed of light

I got this concept from Matt Strassler's book "Waves in an impossible sea"

For example if a neutrino has no rest mass then it travels at speed of light — else slower. How much slower depends on its "rest mass"

Doppler effects apply to all waves — however the limit is set by Einstein's special theory of relativity
