After nearly a century, the hunt for an elusive cosmic quarry is over. With the help of lasers and mirrors, scientists have directly observed gravitational waves, or wrinkles in the fabric of spacetime itself. Two colliding black holes, one with 36 times the mass of the sun, and the other with 29, emitted those gravitational waves as they spiralled into one another and eventually collided. From roughly 1.3 billion light-years away, these waves spread like ripples in the cosmic pond and washed over Earth on September 14, causing a minuscule but measurable change in the distance between four sets of mirrors—two in Louisiana, and two in Washington state. In the last second before the black holes merged, they released 50 times more energy than all the stars in all the galaxies in the universe were releasing, combined.

I was going to mention something about photo dielectric capacitance when I read this article, I refrained though as I don't really know what I'm talking about when it relates to the experiment above. I then though to myself this guy will cover that in his YT vlog and so he delivered.
Gravity Waves discovered? NOPE, Simplex Electromagnetic Phase Rarefaction/Retardation
The alleged gravity wave measured by 2 black holes 1.3 BILLION light years away, was 1000 times smaller than the width of an atomic nucleus, and stretched over 4km. (People don't read)
Not to mention that the range for LIGO was only 26 MILLION lightyears. And that their signal only lasted for 20 milliseconds for ONE chirp. And during its engineering phase, not even during science testing.
After 14 YEARS (and billions of our tax dollars)... nothing. LIGO found nothing, Enhanced LIGO was set up in 2009. It found nothing. They announced they found nothing in September 2015. Then they upgraded (the Earth based system) to Advanced LIGO which is supposed to be 1000 times more sensitive (more sensitive WITHIN the 26 million ly LIGO is rated for)
Just so happens the finding comes exactly at the 100 year anniversary of Einstein's relativity nonsense.
after 14 years of searching with billion dollar equipment and finding nothing... They had to announce something to keep their budget rolling in from our tax dollars. F
. "We know LIGO works because we measured gravitational waves from the merger of binary black holes. This signal proves binary black holes merge." Uh, circular reasoning? This signal came during the engineering phase testing LIGO coming online, NOT during the science phase. In science, there is something called the Scientific Method. Which means you need to prove something REPEATABLE before announcing it as fact. Getting ONE 20 millisecond chirp during engineering phase is not validation of the totality of Einstein's models.
* Only one tiny short "chirp" has been detected in the past 5 months that Advanced LIGO has been running. The original prediction made back in September was that the new instruments would detect many longer chirps on a daily or even hourly basis.
* The chirp was detected only three days after Advanced LIGO came online, after 13 years of searching with LIGO and Enhanced LIGO. How convenient.
* The Scientific Method demands that results be repeatable. A single chirp is not enough to satisfy this demand.
* These two black holes are supposedly 1.3 billion light years away when the range of LIGO is only supposed to be 26 million light years.

Could the last one be down to a lensing effect that exists in space?

"The Scientific Method demands that results be repeatable. A single chirp is not enough to satisfy this demand." I will approach the appropriate department and ask them if they've got another pair of black holes no one really needs and which we could merge  |
