I just need to test their interpretation of what they found.
I always test.
How are you going to test it when the equipment required is far beyond what you can obtain?

Exactly.
So how do we know the wave is a gravity wave?
...
How does one know that what is being moved through is spacetime?
"I think they are assuming the velocity of the gravitational waves in order to find the location of the event...."
Explain how that works?
So your suggesting the finding will go unchallenged and people must just accept their findings on faith?
Thank goodness we have you here Michael to always correct those silly professional scientists.
Exactly. So how can I test these reported results?
They had a live Q&A session at that site and they gave some information about how distance and direction of the event that triggered the wave was determined. Since the detector has an x And y axis a general direction could be determined.
Cute. So that ping in the pipes on earth represents something in the universe. Let's see if anyone knows the connection here.The gravity wave detector goes 'ping'.

The tunnel is on earth. Something coming in here causes waves. They think it is gravity. I would like to be sure they got that right. They know this..how?Because what was being measured was basically the length of a long tunnel.
Spacetime on earth. Now how do you connect that to the universe?The tunnel itself is not changing size (although it must be a headache to deal with expansion due to temperature changes, or random vibrations -- a key technical challenge is to eliminate or deal with the noise caused by extraneous sources) so the changes in length of the tunnel are due to changes in spacetime.
I have no doubts there are ripples out there. The issue is what they are. Also, how far away and etc. I see they claim black holes collided. Did we see the black holes...or do they 'know' those holes exist because they see ripples!!?It is not so much a 'wave of gravity' as a ripple in spacetime that spreads from the source, causing minute changes in rulers and clocks as it passes through.
In their theory, yes. We know that how? Beware of circular reasoning here.They already gave the connection. It was the merger of two black holes.
Interesting. The thing is there are no antennas in deep space.Just like radio triangulation.
