I understand the LIGO data is available. A skilled data analyst could look at it and tell if it's possible or not. If aliens FTL around our neighbourhood, maybe it does show up?
- sigmoid10 3y agoA skilled data analyst would never even attempt that before having a very strong theoretical model for the kind of signal they are looking for. Otherwise you could end up with countless "discoveries" that in reality are just statistical noise. LIGO's discoveries were only possible because of decades of theoretical research in General Relativity and simulations of black hole dynamics. They already knew precisely what the signal would look like before they ever saw it.

- sigmoid10 3y agoThen I guess we disagree on the definition of "skilled." What I'm trying to say is you definitely won't find something like that published by the LIGO collaboration or other serious astronomers.
