detecting a microscopic ripple from a binary star two billion light years away?

forgive me, captain. but, that's an irrational amount of faith to put in the equipment. and, it's a lot of faith to put in peer review, too. it was just a few months ago that they thought they found a tachyon and couldn't figure out the error.

i'm not exactly rejecting anything. i'm just less than impressed by the premise.

imagine skipping a pebble across a pond. you're going to see circular waves expand outwards. so long as nothing interferes with those waves, they should continue indefinitely.

but, it took two billion years for this energy to get to us. pretty smooth sailing, don't you think?

but, they've isolated for every known interference - it can't be anything else that we understand. so, it must be what we were looking for, right?

see, that there is what we call a logical fallacy.

listen: i'm not rejecting the results. i'm just not exactly accepting them, either.
