Interesting that two teams, using different methods, and came up with the same answer.

That (unlike "AGW") is called, Good Science"!!

This is just as junky as AGW.

I'm a physical chemist (heavy on the physics and materials science).

What are your qualifications for making the above statement?

first-ever observation of electromagnetic radiation was detected from a gravitational-wave event

Very interesting...

The October 2017 article was interesting as well. Thanks!

Spectacular collision of two neutron stars observed for first time

My qualification is a proven ability to sniff out obfuscatory bullshit. LIGO is a fraud.

"This" just has science behind it.

AGW is pseudoscience that comes with a whole progressive Leftard political agenda.

LIGO has the ability to produce fraudulent data built into it, on purpose.

Hard to make it more obvious than they have. Anyone who takes a skeptical approach can see the fnords all over the place here.

The EOS describes the complex behaviour of the dense nuclear matter that makes up neutron stars.

...

My impression is it spits out a simple value like the radius.

You should write a paper on it, so smart people can tell you how crazy you are.

Since you're so smart, you should have turned consultant and spoken up. Could have saved a bunch of folks freezin' their butts off down at the BICEP site...

No doubt, they would have traded their PhDs for your "sniffer"... Apparently, you must have sniffed in a lot of bullshit -- you're full of it...

You and the other guy sound exactly like the AGW freaks sounded like when I called BS on their scam many many years ago.

So far the arguments against my assertion include credentialism, ad hominem, and “trust us”.

If your position is to uncritically accept unreproducable results from a source which fully admits to having a built-in fraudulent data generator, you may just be the nutty one in this conversation.

That was a quick abandonment of all pretense to scientific inquiry. The self-awareness gap to not be able to see how you are now behaving precisely as the AGW crowd does is extraordinary.

So I’m supposed to uncritically accept your assertions instead?

I would say my arguments against you are much better than your arguments against them.

As a bystander, I would have to agree with you science guys about the detractors credentials - for one he calls LIGO ‘a fraud’ but fails to mention the Virgo or why it is also a fraud.

I was really attracted to his full and complete explanation why LIGO is worthless - I am so lucky to have read it and his mention of ‘fnords’ - otherwise I would not have been able to capture the essence of the deliberate fakery by the Illuminati !!

LIGO amazingly detected an event with gravitational waves before it was detected with visible light. The visible light detection confirmed LIGO’s observation and also confirmed that gravitational waves travel at the speed of light.

LIGO is one of the top scientific and engineering accomplishments of the human race.

AH! But, you didn't read what I really meant!

Blow it up a little, and then highlight everything from the last dot, down to the bottom of the pane... Look closely...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<GRIN> That was a more scientific -- and to the point -- answer than yours!
