Mystery solved? Think again. These waves were detected from supposed black holes billions of light years away using a “billion” dollar instrument. If this instrument was so sensitive in detecting these “gravity waves” of incredibly distant black holes, why was it not sensitive enough to detect those same waves between the earth and moon? Read between the lines.

Not the same waves. These black holes expended 5 solar masses of energy making these waves. This is actually a monumental achievement. They have been trying to directly detect gravity waves for decades. The precision required is smaller than the width of an atomic nucleus. Even Einstein though they would never detect them directly. Nobel prizes are coming if this result survives peer review. (Earned Nobels ,unlike the peace prize!)
