LIGO - A Deeper Look

Converging black holes that prove ripples in space time. That's what the image above was used for. To prove Einstein was correct, that space (an area) was converged with time (a linear thing)  to create fabrics that planets sit upon.

The above image is LIGO, the magic station that discovered our black holes. LIGO said, upon less than 2% of a second worth of data, that black holes converged over 1.3 light years away. That's 9 with a lot of zeroes kms. Not only this, the convergence happened 1.4 billion years ago. Each was 14 times the mass of the sun.

Sites like Space can't wait to tell people all about it, and look, LIGO does it again!

Here is the problem I have with this.

Humans have a selective hearing range. We cannot hear less than a certain frequency, or higher than a certain frequency. We also cannot hear electromagnetic waves. This is a good thing. Radio waves are roughly 13-30 Hz. We cannot hear those, or else we would hear our local stations while walking around. No need to tune in. Wifi is in the range of 3-5 Ghz, and we can't hear that. Which may not be such a bad idea, considering some of the world's browsing habits. However, Ligo is different.

Here is the frequency of our ancient "converging black holes."

LIGO, is a seismometer. This means LIGO reads vibrations. That's right, it doesn't matter what frequency range the vibrations are in, all that really matters is that there is a vibration.

From their own site:

"LIGO is essentially a giant seismometer capable of sensing vibrations from traffic on nearby roads, weather patterns on the other side of the continent, staff biking alongside detector arms, ocean waves crashing on shores hundreds of miles away, and of course nearly every significant earthquake on the planet."

Without isolating their equipment LIGO can hear an earth quake anywhere on earth.

To show you they did isolate equipment, and that I'm being subjective, you are free to view the page

Why do I believe isolation doesn't matter? No matter how much they isolate the equipment to pick up vibrations, it's still meant to pick up vibrations. That's what it does. Consider putting a cone on a seismometer, or earth quake detector. It may not detect earth quakes in the local area anymore, but  it's going to detect them somewhere. Wherever you point the machine.

Lets re-examine our vibrations.

Our vibrations are between the frequency of 32Hz and over 512hz. Since we seem to be talking in the terms of vibration, and not electromagnetic frequency we can assume these vibrations can come from anything. Literally, anything.

Remember our quote from LIGO, saying they can pick up traffic, earth quakes everywhere, and so forth.

Once aimed in their general direction, they are under the exact same restrictions.

"LIGO is essentially a giant seismometer capable of sensing vibrations from traffic on nearby roads, weather patterns on the other side of the continent, staff biking alongside detector arms, ocean waves crashing on shores hundreds of miles away, and of course nearly every significant earthquake on the planet."

We can assume once aimed out into space they could pick up every meteor whizzing by, every mass crashing into another, every explosion, star solar flare, converging stars, super novas,  so on, and so forth.

Despite this, LIGO is quick to tell us black holes converged. Why? Because this is their only purpose. They were built for no other reason. They were built to prove Einstein right. That's all, that's it.
