Leave it to Wormley to present this junk article as a way of
acknowledging what may be the most significant scientific finding
of the last fifty years.

The article is riddled with idiocy:

The jughead "author" of this junk article attempts to compare, or
analogize, gravitational waves with sound waves.  Any astute schoolboy
should loudly shriek.

The jughead "author" of this junk article believes that the goal
of science is to prove, but the true purpose of science is only
to falsify.

This jughead introduces the supposed "mysteriousness" of black
holes as somehow being relevant to the discovery.  Blacks holes
are only important because gravitational waves that can be detected
with our current technology require extremely large masses to
produce.

We have reproached Sammy several times in the past for
his use of these junk articles but his vanity and arrogance
prevent him from changing his ways.  Like a true sociopath, he
considers himself to be beyond all criticism.
