On the bogus German detection of Einstein’s gravitational waves
Stephen Crothers deftly dissects the recent detection, by German scientists, of Einstein’s gravitational
waves generated by the spiral merger of two black holes within some assumed Big Bang universe.
Crothers finds that the LIGO-Virgo Collaborations have either incompetently or intentionally and deceptively identified, using the LIGO apparatus, two black holes spiralling to merger, forming a single black hole.

I write concerning the recent request by you and Dr. Wolfgang Engelhardt (as above) for information, at German Law, from the German scientists involved in detection of Einstein’s gravitational waves and related reports that the LIGO-Virgo Collaborations detected such waves, generated by the spiral merger of two black holes within some assumed Big Bang universe.
There are two broad categories subject to public scrutiny:
(a) The design, operation and performance of the apparatus involved;
(b) The theoretical physics upon which the apparatus rests for its construction and deployment.
I present to you certain issues concerning (b), the theoretical physics. As I am not a German citizen I suppose that I am not entitled under German Law to put similar requests as yours directly to the relevant German scientists. I would therefore be much obliged if you could add to your request for information the following, as they are pertinent to concerned German citizens no less than to concerned foreigners such as I.
- Since General Relativity is a nonlinear mathematical theory, a solution to any particular set of Einstein’s so-called ‘field equations’ cannot be superimposed upon any other solution to any other sets of Einstein ‘field equations’, or upon itself. In brief, if X is some solution and Y is some solution, be X the same as Y or not, then X + Y is not a solution. It has been reported widely by scientists, including the Germans, that the LIGO apparatus detected two black holes spiralling to merger, forming a single black hole. Presumably these alleged black holes are inside a Big Bang universe since there have been no reports that the scientists have abandoned their Big Bang Cosmology. Neither the cosmologists at large nor the Germans in particular have ever provided a sound theoretical basis for their reported two black holes and gravitational waves within some assumed Big Bang universe. Without such a theoretical basis all talk of black holes and gravitational waves within some Big Bang universe is wishful thinking. Cosmologists at large, and the Germans in particular, have merely superimposed two alleged individual black hole solutions with one another, and with an assumed Big Bang universe solution for a completely different set of Einstein ‘field equations’, along with a solution for gravitational waves (i.e. X+Y+Z+W), thereby violating the very mathematical form of Einstein’s nonlinear General Theory of Relativity. Therefore, Upon what set of Einstein field equations do the German scientists in particular rely for two black holes within a Big Bang universe, and the alleged associated gravitational waves, they have reported?
- All reports, and hence those too of the Germans, concerning the LIGO allegations of detection of Einstein gravitational waves and black holes within some assumed Big Bang universe, assert that the waves generated by the two black holes, travel at the speed of light, as ‘ripples in the fabric of spacetime itself’. The alleged waves are extracted not from the nonlinear Einstein field equations but from a linearisation of the said ‘field equations’. Each of the two black holes allegedly generating these waves are individually extracted not from the linearisation of the field equations but from a common set or two different sets of nonlinear Einstein ‘field equations’. The Big Bang universe in which the two black holes and the gravitational waves they allegedly generated reside, is extracted from a completely different set of nonlinear Einstein ‘field equations’. The linear and the nonlinear Einstein ‘field equations’ and their respective solutions have nothing whatsoever to do with one another. Moreover, the speed of propagation of these alleged waves is essentially a matter of pure mathematics. The said speed of propagation is not unique at all, because it depends entirely upon the mathematical coordinates selected. Einstein and his followers simply assert that the alleged waves travel at the speed of light in vacuum and then deliberately select a set of mathematical coordinates within the ambit of the linearisation of the nonlinear field equations, in order to make the speed of these waves fit the presumption. The argument thus constitutes a vicious circle and is consequently false. Therefore, Did the German scientists know that the speed of the alleged waves is arbitrary despite reporting to the public in Germany, and beyond, that the speed is that of light in vacuum, or did the German scientists not know until now that the speed of the alleged waves is entirely coordinate dependent and therefore arbitrary? If the German scientists knew that the speed of the said waves is coordinate dependent why did they report that they travel at the speed of light? If they did not know until now that the speed of the said waves is arbitrary, subject entirely to mere selection of mathematical coordinates in the equations, why did they not know? What will they now do about their false reports?
I refer you to a recent paper that explains in all required mathematical detail the issues I have raised above so that you can present these facts in full scientific and mathematical format before the German scientists involved and the German administrative authorities as well, if and when needed.

I look forward to receiving your advice.
