The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a large scientific project with the goal of detecting gravitational waves.
It operates
As it is based on the discredited Theory of relativity its chances of success are slim, but necessity is the mother of invention. In 2010, a paper was written and sent for publication claiming that LIGO had detected gravity waves. The alleged detected gravity waves turned out to be a hoax.
