Einstein was right (again)

Ahem

It is inevitable on these occasions that talk turns to Nobel Prizes. No-one is in any doubt that Thursday's announcement deserves one; the debate, as ever, is over who should receive it. Obvious candidates include the American Kip Thorne, the Scotsman Ron Drever and the German-born Rai Weiss himself. They are regarded as the fathers of LIGO

I think we are all a little too sceptical.
Admittedly there's way too much 'spin' on this 'story'. The real story is that they've proved it and had it peer-reviewed. Unlike the gazillion 'predictions' from the climate lobby.

Imagine trying to work in cosmology or phsyics if we could only see our solar system. That's the issue climatology has, we're dealing with things that take decades/centuries/longer but don't have a million other Earths at different time-periods we can observe (yet, anyway).

It's like predicting how a star will end, and then having to sit and watch the sun to find out.

I realise that to some Creationist this is heteritcal but even Wiki has heard of
digging into the ground.
