> How many supernovae do we see at any time in any given segment of the sky, and what is the likelihood that it would have happened to be in whatever ~1/20 spatial angle the Gw detectors happen to have resolutions over, and out of the other n candidate neutron-neutron mergers we've "detected" what are the odds that we wouldn't have seen a supernova in the EM by chance in all of the others?
The data's all publicly available. You go ahead, do the general relativity, and tell us.
