Gravitational waves

See also Counterexamples to Relativity. Gravity waves are predicted by the Theory of Relativity, which claims that distortions in space travel at the speed of light away from a mass that moves.
Gravity waves have never been directly observed, and have even been the subject of a hoax:[1]
| “ | In 2010 researchers from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory detected the first direct evidence of gravitational waves — crucial proof of relativity. After thousands of hours of verification, they learned that the signal was a “blind injection,” an authorized prank by colleagues to check their work. | ” |
In 2016, demands immediately rang out for a Nobel Prize to be awarded for an anomalous "chirp" detected in LIGO.[2][3]
