I got this feeling alot of physicists are trying to get grant money from massaging noise.

  That’s a pretty cynical way to look at it. If you look at LIGO, that thing is detecting changes in length of 1/1000th the width of a proton. The actual data looks like noise. But it’s not noise. GPS data looks like noise in raw form and yet it gets millions of people to their destinations daily.

    Surely you can use statistical methods to get proper answers. It is very hard though. What is the famous physics dude's quote. "If you need statistics redesign you experiment"? Or was it "math"?

      for some things you don't have a choice. Gravity is too weak.
