Just another claim of a "massive" black hole, that makes Dr Becky exciting.Video Dr Becky -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aativXKru1M

It is still not visible and still looks like another massive mistake. It is based on theories based on theories based on hypotheses based on assumptions which have not been proven. At first glance it looks like the reflection of a plasma-beam. It is funny how Becky uses a reflection/diffraction of a glass as an example of an Einstein ring. Hint hint.

The enthusiasm comes from the number games that seem to produce some results. It is full of bias and fiction, but because of the complicated maths involved no-one notices. Just like astrology seems correct due to all the interesting calculations.

Becky also thinks that Einstein's gravity is valid, and I would love an explanation why charged objects do not experience induction force in gravity. I think that progress comes from checking the boundaries instead of doing the same thing over and over again.

Additional problem with LIGO.

The LIGO is based on light-interference, between large mirrors and fresnel lenses. Each small vibration is amplified to the extreme. So it is extremely sensitive to sound. Especially with the mirrors resembling a gong, capable of making lots of different vibrations. Any sound will be converted to "signal" with different frequencies and different patterns. So it is an extremely hard problem.

Here is "The interferometer guitar Pedal" that using the sound principle to create sound effects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mI_TRSHnbo

No-where in the LIGO documentation I saw people dealing with the problem of sounds. Any sound is amplified to the extreme. Heat can cause all kinds of sounds. Also electronics and lasers can all kinds of sound. The heating and cooling of the pipes and ground can cause sounds. Birds and planes cause sounds, which will have an effect if they resonate.

Because the sound are converted via interference, a weak sound can change into a high frequency pattern with a changing frequency.

Good science starts with the assumption that the hypothesis is false, and tries to find other explanations before making any conclusions. The LIGO project demonstrates how bad astronomy is at doing any good science.
