Disputing LIGO's Gravity Wave Detections

David de Hilster talks about a very very, too rare occurent: physicists from inside the mainstream challenging a Nobel Prize-winning experiment: the LIGO detector and its supposed detection of gravity waves. This is worth staying around for the entire video with an amazing conclusion.

7:33 That's not the point. The article suggest that rather than looking at the data for any identifiable anomaly, they LIGO team went into the data looking for a predetermined type of anomaly and by doing that you have a greater chance of success as the threshold for a specific anomaly will be lower. If you say I am going to look in this data for a cross shape then chances are you will find it whereas it may be so small that if you are just looking for any anomaly it will get overlooked.

The challenge to the LIGO team was that they had predetermined ideas on what the signal would look like. No one disputes that there was a signal but I don't think they have proved the source. That was the thrust of the article. Your rant misses then point. You don't seem to be adding any science to this discussion, just mocking scientists. What are you thoughts on the science of the LIGO teams methods?

After the gravitational waves were detected they called the other observatories, and they looked in the direction, and found gamma- and radio waves and light comming from that direction in the right sequence AFTER the detection of the gravitational waves. Hence a Nobel Prize.

We had a gamma-ray burst at the same time of the LIGO event (Sept. 14th, 2015). Could it be that these gamma rays affected the (non-perfect) mirrors reflecting the light beams of the GW detector? That the distortion of the mirrors was interpreted as interference on the light beams?

It seems to me, you have a problem with the way the scientific community works and what it puts it's collective blessing on. If the academic scientific community just dissappeared, there's nothing in their theory any more strange than some "dissident" theory. One thing is certain, the data itself has proved the universe strange and counter-intuitive.

Ligo proved beyond any doubt, there were 2 supermassive unicorns having sex 1, 3 billion years ago and they had a baby!

They have to preserve the idea of "gravitational radiation" because General Relativity requires it in order to explain why gravitation _appears_ to act instantaneously and thus does not fundamentally conflict with Newton's law of gravitation. The theoretical problems with instantaneous action-at-a-distance proposed by Newton's gravity are no less problematic in GR but this is seldom directly addressed by academics. But these problems are, in fact, _fatal_ to GR and this LIGO nonsense represents a very desperate state of affairs on the part of those who seek to uphold the Einsteinian paradigm.

Dave: Reread Ch 15.7 in "Infinite Universe Theory." In sum, "gravity waves" actually are "shock waves, " and have little to do with gravity. These aetherial disturbances travel at the speed of light because that is the velocity inherent in the aether medium. Both will display aberration. Gravitation, on the other hand, is the result of aether deceleration and consequent reductions in proximal aetherial pressure produced when short-range aether particles collide with baryonic matter (see viXra:1806.0165).

waves need to travel through space, but gravity is a form of space, so its tarveling through itself?! I think this can be resolved by placing gr on an aether paradigm. Even Einstein realized this:

" More careful reflection teaches us, however, that the special theory of relativity does not compel us to deny ether. " - A. Einstein.

waves dont even exist smh good vlog dave

[scar_runner]

Thank you. There's so much to learn from an alternative point of view! :o They put themsevles so deep, they can't get out lol xD

Good job...yes very sad science nowadays...
