    Like Dark Matter, they are purely theoretical and represent the Leprechauns and Pixies of Cosmology.

    This is why I am extremely sceptical about this Gravity Wave hype today.

    They are using their imaginary space friends as the control subjects.

    Who's gonna break the bad news to Stephen Hawking that he's wasted his life studying something that doesn't even exist. Poor fella.

    It has been 'proven' using imaginary criteria?

    I can assure you within a couple of weeks cosmologists will be ripping today's circus apart. If not sooner.

    When I hear stories like this today I find it all hard to fathom out.

    So 2 black holes collided 1 billion light years away (just think about that distance for one minute) and we picked up a reading of it on earth?

    Can we see 1 billion light years away?
    Can they say for certain that 2 black holes collided or are they guessing?

    Everything except there being a God?

    we can have parallel universes, black holes colliding 1 billion light years away, worm holes etc etc yet mention God and people call you crazy.

    If anything is possible or could exist in a parallel earth or multiverse, then a divine being could exist.

    As Neil Degass Tyson stated the great thing about science is that even if you don't believe it its true or words to that effect.

    You'd take the word of a black hole over that of an anonymous poster on the internet?

    It has already happened many times.

    Hawkins is a celebrity more than a scientist. People who read his books know little or nothing about science.

    Precisely. It is an act of faith in something that may or may not have happened.

    Have you got a peer reviewed study pointing towards evidence that god exists?
