Probably the most famous non-discovery in modern science was the Michelson Morley experiment, which was supposed to detect the presence of the "ether." They discovered nothing.... and from that finding, Einstein formulated his theory of Special Relativity.
Where they might see Helen Thomas changing her diaper.
“the logical proof for Gods existence!”
I wish I could be confident that you are right, but my knowledge of most of these atronomer/physicist types is that about 999 out of 1000 of them are anti-God heathens.
IMHO they are more likely attempting to prove the NON-existence of God. They will eventually be proven fools, but it may not be until they appear at the Great White Throne Judgement.
That's going to be difficult if there are none.
Well-l-l-l-l-l, since we needed something to explain the lack of mass to maintain galaxy shape (Dark matter) and we needed something to explain the accelerated expansion of the universe (Dark Energy), all we need now to explain the lack of gravitational waves is Dark Ripples. (/Sarcasm)
Well, considering the reflected light would take just as long to return, you probably wouldn't see it if it were at that point. The light reflected from us would have to reach the mirror, then reflect back, doubling the time frame of the distance you are looking at. One of those fun space-time things to contemplate but only a few in the world can calculate (I wouldn't even pretend to try..)
Actually, 300,000 km/sec.
Not at all. The Big Bang theory doesn't attempt to explain why the bang occurred, only that it did occur.
When Lemaître, riffing off early work by Einstein postulated what came to be known as the Big Bang, he makes no attempts - and neither does anyone else that I'm aware - to speculate or hypothesis what (or who) may have been the impetus for the bang.
All I want to know is, when do we get JetPacks?!!
Nope. I can prove God’s existence myself. I will discuss it on these pages in the morning. TTYL.
In just a few short months, you too can own your own JetPack...

“The non-discovery offers insights into the state of the Universe just 60 seconds into its existence.”
And what do they see? I’ll bet they see an empty and formless earth just like the Bible says.
Ping.
Here is a thought.
An observation is only as good as the instrument used and the perspective/vantage-point at the point of observation.
One could have a very tiny, microscopic vantage point and a very narrow idea of what to look for and how to look for it, and with the best instrument designed around those limits produce a ton of “data” which, in the end, may prove, in a sort of circular logic - nothing more than that our observation instruments work because they obtain what we designed them to obtain, from our limitations of knowledge and perspective/vantage point and using the huge theories we have built with those limitations.
I truly believe that whenever we are finally “star travelers” that many of our theories and assumptions about the universe, its age, how creation continues and many other things will be blown away by knowledge gained in getting to the stars and what we actually find there.
Much of astronomical science has less hard first hand facts and more theory than even the man-made global warming hoax.

“THIS could be the forum to discuss the logical proof for Gods existence!.”
Nah, you’re trying to come up with some sort of unified theory to rationalize the natural and supernatural aspects of the universe. Einstein tried to develop a unified theory of just the natural universe, and was unsuccessful (and he was smart). What chance do you think you have?
Just show us the certificate.

I believe that ideas like “ripples in space-time” are due precisely to the limitations of such a microscopic perspective of our tiny vantage point and our limited real knowledge. I think it is more about how things we don’t fully understand appear to us, than how they actually are.
