Further GW detectors are necessary in order to pin point the location of the source.
The coordinates of the two GW discoveries made by the Hanford and Livingston detectors remain unknown.
I could not disagree anymore with this being a waste of money.
We are in the first stage in the new frontier of GW astronomy.
The electromagnetic spectrum has its limitations, namely we can't observe beyond the cosmic radiation background which is opaque across the entire spectrum.
GW astronomy will allow us to penetrate this barrier and take us back to a period just after the Big Bang.
Unfortunately due to Mr Heisenberg the actual event will remain beyond us.
The direct observation of Black Holes is another possibly as the event horizon is only a barrier in the electromagnetic spectrum.
