Default Einsteinian Schizophrenia: Hailing Gravitational Waves, Rejecting Spacetime

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/ligo-scient...covery-1549229
"Scientists from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (Ligo) are reportedly set to make fresh announcements about a new set of discoveries, only two weeks after producing evidence confirming the existence of Einstein's gravitational waves. Ligo lab experts say they may have detected some of the universes 'most violent events' which potentially include black hole clashes and neutron star collisions. According to The Sunday Times, the scientists are about to reveal findings from more extensive space experiments. "The most likely events Ligo would detect are binary black holes coalescing with each other, and we already have evidence that we have seen a second such event," said David Reitze, executive director of the Ligo laboratory. "However, we are also looking at a handful of other candidates. The other most likely sources we have a chance of seeing include two neutron stars coalescing or a black hole eating a neutron star. They would all produce a similar characteristic signal." Einstein was right. On 11 February, a team of scientists from Caltech, MIT and Ligo confirmed the landmark discovery of gravitational waves or 'ripples' in the fabric of space-time caused by the waves from two colliding black holes. The existence of such waves was first predicted by Alert Einstein a century ago but, until last year, scientists had no full-proof way of testing for their existence."

Einstein did not predict such waves, and that is the whole problem. All predictions seem to be made and simulated by David Reitze. The LIGO system is fraudulent by design:

"Einstein believed in neither gravitational waves nor black holes. (...) Dr Natalia Kiriushcheva, a theoretical and computational physicist at the University of Western Ontario (UWO), Canada, says that while it was Einstein who initiated the gravitational waves theory in a paper in June 1916, it was an addendum to his theory of general relativity and by 1936, he had concluded that such things did not exist. Furthermore - as a paper published by Einstein in the Annals of Mathematics in October, 1939 made clear, he also rejected the possibility of black holes. (...) On September 16, 2010, a false signal - a so-called "blind injection" - was fed into both the Ligo and Virgo systems as part of an exercise to "test ... detection capabilities". At the time, the vast majority of the hundreds of scientists working on the equipment had no idea that they were being fed a dummy signal. The truth was not revealed until March the following year, by which time several papers about the supposed sensational discovery of gravitational waves were poised for publication. "While the scientists were disappointed that the discovery was not real, the success of the analysis was a compelling demonstration of the collaboration's readiness to detect gravitational waves," Ligo reported at the time. But take a look at the visualisation (www.ligo.org/news/blind-injection.php) of the faked signal, says Dr Kiriushcheva, and compare it to the image apparently showing the collision of the twin black holes, seen on the second page of the recently-published discovery paper (tinyurl.com/h3wkvmo). "They look very, very similar," she says. "It means that they knew exactly what they wanted to get and this is suspicious for us: when you know what you want to get from science, usually you can get it." The apparent similarity is more curious because the faked event purported to show not a collision between two black holes, but the gravitational waves created by a neutron star spiralling into a black hole. The signals appear so similar, in fact, that Dr Kiriushcheva questions whether the "true" signal might actually have been an echo of the fake, "stored in the computer system from when they turned off the equipment five years before"."
