The journal NATURE reported that subsequent verification experiments kept lowering the confidence levels of the original finding in the peer reviewed publication’s results to the point were it is considered erroneous. It was suspected that galactic dust may have altered the measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation and led to a possible erroneous finding. So, the search is still on to find the suspected gravitational waves by one or more of the other competing experiments. These rumors suggest such a discovery may have occurred and the research team is working to avoid having their experimental becoming unconfirmed by other independent projects.

Isn’t that referring to experimental data obtained before the Phase 2 upgrade? I am not sure — haven’t followed that closely.

Now where did I hear that before? Oh, yeah. Post #23.
