• Physicists Doubt That Gravitational Wave Detections Are Real

    From Pentcho Valev@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 7 08:31:30 2023
    Sabine Hossenfelder: "I do not doubt that the gravitational wave detections are real. But. I spend a lot of time on science communication, and I know that many of you doubt that these detections are real. And, to be honest, I cannot blame you for this
    doubt. " http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2019/11/have-we-really-measured-gravitational.html

    So many establishment physicists (Sabine would not communicate with non-establishment pariahs) doubt that gravitational wave detections are real. Yet you would not find their doubts expressed on Internet. Why? Because the all-powerful ideology is too
    cruel:

    "This paper investigates an alternative possibility: that the critics were right and that the success of Einstein's theory in overcoming them was due to its strengths as an ideology rather than as a science. The clock paradox illustrates how relativity
    theory does indeed contain inconsistencies that make it scientifically problematic. These same inconsistencies, however, make the theory ideologically powerful...The gatekeepers of professional physics in the universities and research institutes are
    disinclined to support or employ anyone who raises problems over the elementary inconsistencies of relativity. A winnowing out process has made it very difficult for critics of Einstein to achieve or maintain professional status. Relativists are then
    able to use the argument of authority to discredit these critics. Were relativists to admit that Einstein may have made a series of elementary logical errors, they would be faced with the embarrassing question of why this had not been noticed earlier.
    Under these circumstances the marginalisation of antirelativists, unjustified on scientific grounds, is eminently justifiable on grounds of realpolitik. Supporters of relativity theory have protected both the theory and their own reputations by shutting
    their opponents out of professional discourse...The triumph of relativity theory represents the triumph of ideology not only in the profession of physics bur also in the philosophy of science." Peter Hayes, The Ideology of Relativity: The Case of the
    Clock Paradox https://tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02691720902741399

    Natalia Kiriushcheva was the only establishment physicist who found courage to hint at the truth (LIGO's gravitational waves are fakes):

    "On September 16, 2010, a false signal - a so-called "blind injection" - was fed into both the Ligo and Virgo systems as part of an exercise to "test ... detection capabilities". At the time, the vast majority of the hundreds of scientists working on the
    equipment had no idea that they were being fed a dummy signal. The truth was not revealed until March the following year, by which time several papers about the supposed sensational discovery of gravitational waves were poised for publication. "While the
    scientists were disappointed that the discovery was not real, the success of the analysis was a compelling demonstration of the collaboration's readiness to detect gravitational waves," Ligo reported at the time. But take a look at the visualisation of
    the faked signal, says Dr Kiriushcheva, and compare it to the image apparently showing the collision of the twin black holes, seen on the second page of the recently-published discovery paper. "They look very, very similar," she says. "It means that they
    knew exactly what they wanted to get and this is suspicious for us: when you know what you want to get from science, usually you can get it." The apparent similarity is more curious because the faked event purported to show not a collision between two
    black holes, but the gravitational waves created by a neutron star spiralling into a black hole. The signals appear so similar, in fact, that Dr Kiriushcheva questions whether THE "TRUE" SIGNAL MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN AN ECHO OF THE FAKE, "STORED IN THE
    COMPUTER SYSTEM from when they turned off the equipment five years before"." https://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/why-albert-einstein-continues-to-make-waves-as-black-holes-collide-1.188114

    Kiriushcheva immediately disappeared from public debate, converted into an unperson perhaps:

    George Orwell: "Withers, however, was already an unperson. He did not exist: he had never existed."

    They didn’t need to inject a false signal for the subsequent “real” detections.
    They were statistical blips just about possible with a combination of the necessary
    ms time window needed for two supposed gw chirps and a random appearance of blips
    of such amplitude above the background noise appearing at both detectors by chance.
    It turns out that for two detectors at similar sensitivities it’s just statistically
    possible for two random chirps of significant strength appearing at either detector within the ms time window needed to trigger an apparent but fake
    gw wave.
    Problem is the chance for 3 random similar strength chirps appearing within the ms time window is far less. Which is why the only waves detected
    since the third detector Virgo joined in the scam only always still have two detections.
    The third detector always by some miraculous chance to be exactly in the one place
    where it can’t see the wave. A scam only possible with relativist theologians.
    And the same ridiculous miracle excuse is used for black hole detections. Notice
    BH theory says we should see an accretion disc crossing a black hole. Yet,...The first detection image showed no accretion disc!!
    Black hole nutters said “Oh by some miraculous chance the accretion
    disc happened to be at just right angle to not be visible crossing the disc.” A 1/180 chance depending on how you set the error bars.
    But then guess what? The second black hole imaged also showed no
    accretion disc crossing the black hole!
    Even NASA admits on its website that this was a very
    unusual coincidence that the two black holes were both
    at just the same right angle as to not show an accretion disc crossing
    the face of the BH. There is a much smaller chance this can happen two
    times in a row. A 1/30000 chance depending on how you set
    the error bars. Was it a miraculous coincidence?
    Or a miracle from God central at LIGO headquarters.

    "...a blind injection test where only a select few expert administrators are able to put a fake signal in the data, maintaining strict confidentiality. They did just that in the early morning hours of 16 September 2010. Automated data analyses alerted
    us to an extraordinary event within eight minutes of data collection, and within 45 minutes we had our astronomer colleagues with optical telescopes imaging the area we estimated the gravitational wave to have come from. Since it came from the direction
    of the Canis Major constellation, this event picked up the nickname of the "Big Dog Event". For months we worked on vetting this candidate gravitational wave detection, extracting parameters that described the source, and even wrote a paper. Finally, at
    the next collaboration meeting, after all the work had been cataloged and we voted unanimously to publish the paper the next day. However, it was revealed immediately after the vote to be an injection and that our estimated parameters for the simulated
    source were accurate. Again, there was no detection, but we learned a great deal about our abilities to know when we detected a gravitational wave and that we can do science with the data. This became particularly useful starting in September 2015."
