Rainer Weiss
Prize share: 1/2

Barry C. Barish
Prize share: 1/4

Kip S. Thorne
Prize share: 1/4

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2017 was divided, one half awarded to Rainer Weiss, the other half jointly to Barry C. Barish and Kip S. Thorne "for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves".

Check out @thequantumknight as he has recently posted some interesting articles, one specifically about gravitational waves!

Thanks for covering this years Nobel Prize! I also really appreciate your support!

This is neat...Kinda like the map of the curve of space-time I was talking about...

Stephen Crothers' massive demolition of junk-sci LIGO claims:

Miles Mathis:
http://milesmathis.com/liego.pdf

Mathis is making two claims i.e. one that the scale of the motion claimed to be detected by the LIGO devices is correct for an electron or proton within one of the mirrors but not correct for the mirror itself and, two, that the data obtained should have been easily recognizable as a signal amounting to an artifact of the construction of the apparatus itself and that the announcement in its present form is therefore dishonest.

There is no such thing as a gravity wave and the LIGO project is an unconscionable waste of public funds. The Nobel committee seems to have a gullibility issue.

Arguing the existence of an Einstein Wave is uneducated at best... You are basically concluding that space is not curved...Gravitational waves would only be nonsense in a non curved space-time... They just make sense... Now if you want to talk about the method of detection itself. That I can have a conversation about. I would like to hear more about the method of detection being flawed as I would agree that it is not unlikely that they find what they want to find when they are being paid to do so...But saying gravitational waves do not exist is just wrong...We know they do.

There is no such thing as gravity waves OR space-time.

I suppose it's all a dream, or a simulation, or a hologram then right... Flat Earth perhaps? Which one are you implying is true here. Let's just jump to the conclusion of your argument. Even if the world was a neural net as it just might be (with no past, just nows)...It would still generate physical rules and principles. And a gravity wave would propogate into that generated model. So unless you are coming from some left field I'm unaware I have to call BS. Plus you provided no alternative to your claim of space-time not being real. I have often said I believe our view of space-time is wrong and such. But simply saying space-time is not real without providing me an alternative is not going to get anywhere in an argument...Plus Relativity has been proven via satellite..The time differential is real...

"Plus you provided no alternative to your claim of space-time not being real."

The third one of the videos in my other post yesterday provides a rational alternative, i.e. that gravity is basically an electrostatic dipole effect as per Ralph Sansbury's thesis and not a basic force in nature.

Gravity is by forty orders of magnitude the weakest force in nature. The idea of requiring gravity to hold galaxies together or to form up solar systems from plasma or dust is basically ridiculous and it is that basic ridiculousness which forces people who ought to know better to believe in the imaginary creatures of 20'th century theoretical physics (black holes, white holes, worm holes, dark matter, dark energy.....

Albert Einstein tried to describe gravity as a four dimensional differential geometry kind of a thing. There is clearly no way to start with that and believe that gravity ever could've undergone any kind of a major change in the recent past on our own planet; nonetheless it is an easy demonstration that it has.
