LIGO... What are the probabilities?
http://www.nature.com/news/ligo-black-hole-echoes-hint-at-general-relativity-breakdown-1.21135?WT.ec_id=NEWS-20161215&spMailingID=52998738&spUserID=MjgzNDMxNjU2ODIS1&spJobID=1063046368&spReportId=MTA2MzA0NjM2OAS2
In a universe that is not only expanding, but is currently accelerating in this expansion, it strikes me as peculiar that LIGO is detecting these black hole mergers.
It is understood that there is thought to be a black hole in the centre of most galaxies, and it is also understood how there are thought to be rouge black holes that are not associated with galaxies...
Clearly LIGO are detecting the black hole that is not associated with a galaxy.
What I find peculiar under the premise of this accelerated expansion, is the fact that these huge masses that I would have thought, under the premise of accelerated expansion to be far flung apart from each other, are in fact observed to be merging as mass clumping together...
Any thoughts?
