|"Despite wasting millions of taxpayer dollars searching for gravity waves predicted by the theory, none have ever been found."<ref>http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Counterexamples_to_Relativity&oldid=852797</ref> This was actually true at the time, but the implication was that gravitational waves would ''never'' be found.
|Gravitational waves have been found! - liberals asserted, referring to the "BICEP2" measurements in 2014.

|The (perhaps overzealous) researchers at the "BICEP2" project claimed to have discovered evidence of gravitational waves from the "[[big bang]]".<ref>http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.3985v1</ref> This was shot down in 2015: "Gravitational waves discovery now officially dead."<ref>http://www.nature.com/news/gravitational-waves-discovery-now-officially-dead-1.16830</ref> But in 2015 and 2016, gravitational waves from colliding [[black hole]]s were irrefutably detected by the [[LIGO]] instruments. See [[Gravitational waves]].
|''Nature'' states, in 2015, that the BICEP2 measurements are not reliable: "Gravitational waves discovery now officially dead."<ref>http://www.nature.com/news/gravitational-waves-discovery-now-officially-dead-1.16830</ref> However, there is a claim that they have now been found<ref>http://www.ligo.org/news/pressreleases.php</ref>
