Check out all of TED-Ed's book recommendations: Check out Neil deGrasse Tyson's Astrophysics for People in a Hurry: In September 2015, scientists witnessed something never seen before: two black holes colliding. Both about 30 times as big as our Sun, they had been orbiting each other for millions of years. A fraction of a second before the crash, they sent a vibration across the universe at the speed of light that was picked up by the LIGO detector. So what are these ripples in space? Amber L. Stuver explains. Lesson by Amber L. Stuver, directed by Eoin Duffy

Danish physicists claim to cast doubt on detection of gravitational waves
The creation of an illusion
Understanding by analogy; The cookie dough is represented by the noise picked up by the instrument (LIGO) in order to create a cookie (the chirp) you would need a mold (the filter) and impress the cookie cutter (mold or filter ) into the mass of dough (noise ) in order to form the cookie, the expected signal the chirp. So you see, the signal, the so called gravitational chirp (the cookie) is a creation of the process (Convolution) a mathematical artifact and it doesnt stand alone. Without the cookie cutter you have no cookie!

What was vibrating? The vacuum of space(nothing? Ripples on a pond Ripple in a medium called water. Ripples in space Ripple in what? What's the medium? Nothingness? How do waves Ripple in nothingness? Are y'all sure we aren't detecting giant flying spaghetti space monsters passing gas? That seems more plauible!

Wait a minute, didn't LIGO created a machine to generate and detect a gravitational wave on which they spent more than 2 decades. Amd after a lots and lots of tries they detected a wave. I don't think it went this way

When scientists try to sound smart and start to explain gravity and end up telling NOTHING, and the morons watching these videos cheering and thanking but have no clues. I rest my case
reply

how could they measured the arms' length changes, while the L-instrument itself also affected by waves? Does the lasers' light not affected by gravity?
reply

What will happen to us if we and our planet are hit by large gravitation waves that are generated right before and we can see without any pain?
reply

Can someone tell me how she knows that Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory detected the radiation After billions of years later?
reply

If we are seeing this now that means that this happened a long time ago because when far enough away the future can literally see the past

Two words: Sabine Hossenfelder. I am convinced by Sabine that they have not done the work to ensure that their conclusions have warrant.
