IMO...too early yet to really say anything. Has it occurred to them that their detector might not be sensitive enough and that's why they haven't found any gravitational waves from the Big Bang. They can only surmise in theory what energy/wavelength/frequency the gravitational waves (hence, gravitons) will be, but that doesn't mean to say that is in fact the case. In actual fact, apart from what Einstein had come up with about gravity in his theories, they really know nothing about it. Much of what they think they know about it is still conjecture...maths on a blackboard. It maybe right, but then again it may not be...even though quite a few observations made over the years tend to support the theory and the maths which underlie it.

Here's a clanger....what if they never find gravitons.
