Gravitational Waves Detected 100 Years After Einsteins Prediction

#7  LIGO is a proof of concept. The merger of two black holes is about the only thing that it is sensitive enough to see. Future instruments will be able to see past 1st light back to the big bang itself.

#2  But then Al Gore and all those Hollywierd actors, and all those UN bureaucrats are oh-so-much smarter than Einstein! (at least in their own deluded minds...)

#1  Jeepers, I read most of the article fairly carefully, but missed how this discovery further proves the settled science.

Why, the settled science of man-made global warmi climate change, of course!

Actually, it might be a fairly decent lesson for the climate "scientists" - it took 100 years to confirm another portion of Einstein's theory. And it's still a theory.
