Default LIGO Fakes Deliver Deathblow to LIGO Conspiracy, Not toAlternative Theories

Nima Arkani-Hamed (06:09): "Almost all of us believe that spacetime doesn't really exist, spacetime is doomed and has to be replaced by some more primitive building blocks." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U47kyV4TMnE

But LIGO's ripples in spacetime do exist, like the Cheshire cat smile, and gloriously travel at the speed of light? Again:

Nima Arkani-Hamed, do ripples in the nonexistent spacetime gloriously travel at the speed of light?

Nima Arkani-Hamed feels uncomfortable answering this question:

Philip Ball and Lee Smolin also feel uncomfortable with LIGO's ripples in spacetime gloriously traveling at the speed of light:

Philip Ball: "And by making the clock's tick relative - what happens simultaneously for one observer might seem sequential to another - Einstein's theory of special relativity not only destroyed any notion of absolute time but made time equivalent to a dimension in space: the future is already out there waiting for us; we just can't see it until we get there. This view is a logical and metaphysical dead end, says Smolin." http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013...reality-review

"Was Einstein wrong? At least in his understanding of time, Smolin argues, the great theorist of relativity was dead wrong. What is worse, by firmly enshrining his error in scientific orthodoxy, Einstein trapped his successors in insoluble dilemmas..." https://www.amazon.com/Time-Reborn-C.../dp/B00AEGQPFE
