What a dark and useless week for astronomy. We can now add two more invisible entities to the list of mainstream invisible dogma, specifically invisible merging naked black hole pairs, and mythical invisible waves of energy that come from completely invisible events. As if four metaphysical forms of matter and energy weren't enough, they rubber stamped two more invisible entities this week to bring it to an even half dozen invisible claims.
Gah. We're definitely living in the dark ages of astronomy. Future scientists will look back at this timeline and wonder how the hell the mainstream could be so clueless. They'll be mystified as to how they managed to believe that they "discovered" something based on a bad case of special pleading, and flat out deception by omission.
I didn't have any illusions about LIGO winning the Nobel prize this year, but it demonstrates just how far down the invisible rabbit hole they're willing to go. There's literally *zero* empirical evidence to support any of their claims, and LIGO simply misrepresented the facts surrounding the first signal.
What a pathetic week for astronomy.
