i don't think these 'science guys' really understand..

the earth is not slowing down..

it is the black hole
that is sending waves (gravitional waves)
that makes the Earth ...wobble.

The wobbleing will eventually stop...

Look at the bees.

Look at your rubber duck in your bath tub...

stop splashing around.

   Ummm ... the Earth IS slowing down. The interaction
   with the moon has a lot to do with it. VERY long
   term interaction with the sun will likely keep just
   one side of the planet pointed that way - assuming
   the sun doesn't vaporize us first.

   Now spacetime ripples CAN induce micro-changes
   as well ... but they're VERY weak, fortunately.

   An odd effect of better instrumentation/analysis
   is that negligible short-term effects seem to
   take on new significance, create a buzz, make
   a little press ... "SEE ! PAY us more !!!"
