I haven't seen a single Starmaker post disparaging the gravitational wave discovery. Maybe he posted one but didn't crosspost to sf.written, which is where I see his posts. Even if that's the case, I'm still disappointed he didn't post it here. Come on, man. I need my Starmaker fix! -- Dan Tilque

Huge efforts have produced a tour-de-force of precision engineering, which can just about detect enough to show that gravitational waves do in fact exist, confirming something we thought we already knew. I'm not holding my breath for actual new information coming out of this any time soon, and I'd be more impressed if somebody was saying "but there's something not quite right we don't understand yet". (although The Economist magazine hopes that observations of gravitational waves might allow us to observe more extreme events where relativity as currently understood break down - so maybe I am too pessimistic.)

This is being worked on, scientists would in many way LOVE to detect something unexpected because that would give them something to "tug" on. Just because the first ever observation looks roughly standard doesn't mean there isn't details or uncommon features to find with more data. The biggest disappointment with the Higgs detection was how "standard" it was, though possible anomalies may now be showing up there finally but it's still very tentive. LIGO detected this event just weeks after starting up after their major upgrade!, they're now doing further upgrades between each run and I wouldn't rule out that there might be more events in the aLIGO run 01 that they've not had time to analyse fully yet. Also, Virgo (the other big gravitational wave detector) is just coming up after their big upgrade which will give more "eyes". >(although The Economist magazine hopes that observations of >gravitational waves might allow us to observe more extreme events >where relativity as currently understood break down - so maybe I am >too pessimistic.) That's one of the reasons why they're being studied. If they HADN'T detected something at either LIGO or Virgo within a few years after these upgrades, that alone might well have been a big clue that something was off with the theories! It's not always what you detect, sometimes what you DON'T detect is at least as important. Looking further down the line, the "LISA Pathfinder" satellite went up in December 2015 to test a number of techologies. This is part of the development plan for the eLISA gravity wave detector (using three satellites). eLISA IS currently scheduled for pretty far in the future (~2034) but if SpaceX pushes launch prices down I wouldn't be surprised if that moves forward. eLISA would be sensitive to a much wider range of phenomenes due to much longer legs (1 million kilometer each). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolved_Laser_Interferometer_Space_Antenna

Negative results are still results, and we often learn more from

That's the thing in physics--our model predicts. What we look for is a prediction that it makes that is clearly and unambiguously wrong. That's how progress is made and Nobels collected. But to find the prediction that is wrong, we have to test all the predictions, and if it's a decent model then most of the time it's going to be right. On the other hand, we now have another type of astronomical instrument-- how useful it will become it is far far too soon to tell.

My favorite line so far from "Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen" (I am about 3/4ths of the way through it) is just a throw-away. Walking past a lab, the character (and I don't even remember who, but suspect it's Jole) hears [first voice, wailing ] "What have you done to my worms?" [second voice] "Huh, that's weird. . ." I sense a scientific breakthrough in the offing.

Well, people got excited when, after spending a lot of money, someone confirmed the prediction that the Moon was a place people could stand on, and where things would fall locally downwards if you dropped them. Despite the fact that none of those things came as a surprise. Of course, they also took rock samples that _did_ tell us lots of things we didn't already know about such matters as the origin of the Solar System. So it _is_ true that actually observing gravitational waves isn't in itself _productive_ of new physics, but even so, it's still an important watershed moment; they have now become somewhat more "real" than when our best evidence for them was the indirect evidence of pulsar decays. In the long run, of course, as has been noted, gravitational waves will be a new tool for observing the Universe. John Savard

No. The general excitement was over the fact that we were actually able to get there, not the confirmation of that prediction.

On BBC's "Science Hour" there were people talking about testing theories and models of neutron stars and black holes now that an instrument exists to /watch/ them interact. And that the black hole observation has already been compared to the models - and agrees with them, which is satisfying or not. It's all in the Whoop just as the secrets of the ansible are in the Dirac "Beep".

Very anemic on his part. Come on man, if you're going to be an anti-science head-in-the-sand Luddite, put a little effort into it. -- Dan Tilque

However, back in 2013 I posted to my blog an allusion to an alternate theory, which I hope to explain in more detail this coming summer. Anyway, you might want to take a look at what's been written so far. NAMASTE C.E. Gee aka Chuck http://www.kinzuakid.blogspot.com/2013/07/gravity.html

I don't have time for 'Science' to catch up with me... I don't disparage that which I already discovered..

Light comes from gravity...not the sun. The sun maunfactures light, but gets it source from gravity. Gravity keep the speed of light from going faster than the speed of light. If an apple hits you on the head, what controls the speed of the apple from the tree to your head? The same thing that controls the speed of light, right?
