I don't understand the benefit of researching gravity waves.
I don't see it as any more than yet another project to prove GR as being correct similar to Gravity B probe set up to prove frame dragging.
Sure scientists and construction workers get jobs but surely we must have priorities more pressing.
I think India is getting a facility.
Research relating to GR has been done to death and yet we need more confirmation that GR is the best model.
It is the best model and anyone who presents an alternative will not, due to funding denial, will not move past a hypothesis and being cast out to be labled as a rat bag.
How about medical research into cancer, just one example.
How about research into better energy?
I would welcome any member putting me straight here...please suggest the benefits to the community even a benefit that relates to understanding our universe better.
I see no benefit in observing two black holes merge ...particularly when we have computer models that presumably show us what we expect to find.
What am I missing?
