Summary Relativistic astrophysics is a major field of research onthe structure and evolution of the Universe (including its astronomytaxonomical contents) which calls for the theory of gravityintroduced by Albert Einstein in 1915 The General Theory ofRelativity depicts the inextricable gravitational interaction betweenany sort of matter-energy and the space-time itself In this seminar Iwill deliver a panoramic overview around my contributions to thisfield of research As a timely issue I will focus mainly on theastrophysics of black holes and gravitational waves as regards themost recent observations (The Binary Black Hole MergerGW150914) performed by the USA LIGO (laser interferometricgravitational-wave observatories)

LOCALIZATION AND BROADBAND FOLLOW-UP OF GW150914

- Preprint Article to be Published by LIGO Science Team -

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Main arguments Signal traveled greater than light

bull The light distance between Hanford (H1) and Livingston (L1) detectors is 10ms The PRL paper argues (see its Fig 1) that signal arrived to H1 after 69+05 minus04 ms later

bull Given that 1) GRT predicts that GWs propagates at the speed of light c hellip and 2) Supposing that the GW Wfrontfirst hit L1

bull Then accepting that 1) GWs do exist and 2) event GW150914 observed them

bull One concludes that GWs moved form L1 to H1 with a velocity v cong 145 c gt c Unacceptable from both GRT and SRT

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

bull Thatrsquos a very strong demand

bull Some questions immediately arise

bull 1 Why such a typical wave pattern should be associated to the non directly observed concept of lsquoblack holersquo and especially to its more sophisticated versionlsquo coalescence of rotating BHsrsquo

bull 2 What is the logical legitimation for accepting ad hoc of a non previously and independently detecting physical object (BH) as hypothetically existed in order to claim for a more advanced observation (GWs)

GRT Approx with Post Newtonian Expansions

bull Soon after one reads that lsquoAt the lower frequencies such evolution is characterized by the chirp massrsquo as described at [4] (miscitation )

bull Remember that It is broadly accepted that GRT dropped away Newtonian theory

bull Nonetheless when we want to perform GR computations we come back to Newtonrsquos gravitational potential but expanded in a more sophisticated form rather than solving the direct Einsteinrsquos field equations

bull Once again such GTR does not hold fordescribing a binary system

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Main arguments Where did time effects go

bull GRT predicts gws alter the lsquospacetimersquo and not only space

bull In all the experiment however there is not even one remark about what is the effect of GWs to clocks

bull How can we measure frequencies without having solved the time problem

bull Keep in mind that the main equation of the paper is the ldquochirp massrdquo (frequency f and its time derivative`˙f )

bull The only reference about time is lsquoData collection is synchronized to Global Positioning System (GPS) time to better than 10 μs [66] Timing accuracy is verified with an atomic clock and a secondary GPS receiver at each observatory sitersquo

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

bull Thatrsquos a very strong demand

bull Some questions immediately arise

bull 1 Why such a typical wave pattern should be associated to the non directly observed concept of lsquoblack holersquo and especially to its more sophisticated versionlsquo coalescence of rotating BHsrsquo

bull 2 What is the logical legitimation for accepting ad hoc of a non previously and independently detecting physical object (BH) as hypothetically existed in order to claim for a more advanced observation (GWs)

Fundamental problems of weak field approximation Energy definition related to GWs

bull The main problem is when we try to study the energy that GWs is supposed to transfer as waves

bull The first attempt was a first order expansion of the metric (see Sean Carrollrsquos General Relativity Class Notes -- differential geometry)

bull g_mu nu = n_mu nu + h_mu nu (2)

bull Thus for energy definition we have to move to at least a second order approximation of the form (3)

Sean Carrollrsquos Notes on General Theory of Relativity

bull He explains to us

bull lsquoIn fact we have been cheating slightly all along In discussing the effects of gravitational waves on test particles and the generation of waves by a binary system we have been using the fact that test particles move along geodesics

bull But as we know this is derived from the covariant conservation of energy-momentum nablaμ Tμ = 0 In the order to which we have been working however we actually have partial μ T_μnu = 0 which would imply that test particles move on straight lines in the flat background metric

bull This is a symptom of the fundamental inconsistency of the solve the weak field equations to some appropriate order and then justify after the fact the validity of the solutionrsquo In practice the best that can be done is to solve the weak field equations to some appropriate order and then justify after the fact the validity of the solutionrsquo

bull Following next his analytical presentation it is necessary to define

bull with G^(2)_numu the part of Einsteinrsquos tensor that is second order in perturbation weak field limit

bull But the notation treats t_μnu as a tensor which is not true

bull Making things more sensitive it is not even invariant under gauge transformations (infinitesimal diffeomorphisms)

bull The remedy to the problem is not a

bull satisfactory one provided the extremely difficult extensions of GTR

bull As for our current issue the approximations of two black holes are far away from the simplified two body problem described at page 159 of Carrollrsquos Class Notes on GTR

Summarizing

bull We saw that event GW150914 has some main issues that need top be further clarified

bull it violates the upper limit of lightrsquos speed

bull it is based on a concept (lsquoblack holersquo) that has not been observed independently before

bull it has quietly inserted non altered space (arms) and time (clocks) components

bull it uses weak field approximation which suffers from several mathematical problems Specially lsquocos it struggles with point-like particles instead of actual astrophysical objects

bull We have to wait until a reasonable sample of similar events have been reported in order to argue that we have reached at such strong results

bull Notice similarly that it cannot be defined any kind of Statistics with sample N = 1 Thus all statistical claims of the paper although maybe technically correct cannot be accepted under the main spirit of statistical thinking the sample of experiments

LOCALIZATION AND BROADBAND FOLLOW-UP OF GW150914

- Preprint Article to be Published by LIGO Science Team -

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Main arguments Signal traveled greater than light

bull The light distance between Hanford (H1) and Livingston (L1) detectors is 10ms The PRL paper argues (see its Fig 1) that signal arrived to H1 after 69+05 minus04 ms later

bull Given that 1) GRT predicts that GWs propagates at the speed of light c hellip and 2) Supposing that the GW Wfrontfirst hit L1

bull Then accepting that 1) GWs do exist and 2) event GW150914 observed them

bull One concludes that GWs moved form L1 to H1 with a velocity v cong 145 c gt c Unacceptable from both GRT and SRT

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

bull Thatrsquos a very strong demand

bull Some questions immediately arise

bull 1 Why such a typical wave pattern should be associated to the non directly observed concept of lsquoblack holersquo and especially to its more sophisticated versionlsquo coalescence of rotating BHsrsquo

bull 2 What is the logical legitimation for accepting ad hoc of a non previously and independently detecting physical object (BH) as hypothetically existed in order to claim for a more advanced observation (GWs)

GRT Approx with Post Newtonian Expansions

bull Soon after one reads that lsquoAt the lower frequencies such evolution is characterized by the chirp massrsquo as described at [4] (miscitation )

bull Remember that It is broadly accepted that GRT dropped away Newtonian theory

bull Nonetheless when we want to perform GR computations we come back to Newtonrsquos gravitational potential but expanded in a more sophisticated form rather than solving the direct Einsteinrsquos field equations

bull Once again such GTR does not hold fordescribing a binary system

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Main arguments Where did time effects go

bull GRT predicts gws alter the lsquospacetimersquo and not only space

bull In all the experiment however there is not even one remark about what is the effect of GWs to clocks

bull How can we measure frequencies without having solved the time problem

bull Keep in mind that the main equation of the paper is the ldquochirp massrdquo (frequency f and its time derivative`˙f )

bull The only reference about time is lsquoData collection is synchronized to Global Positioning System (GPS) time to better than 10 μs [66] Timing accuracy is verified with an atomic clock and a secondary GPS receiver at each observatory sitersquo

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

bull Thatrsquos a very strong demand

bull 2 What is the logical legitimation for accepting ad hoc of a non previously and independently detecting physical object (BH) as hypothetically existed in order to claim for a more advanced observation (GWs)

Fundamental problems of weak field approximation Energy definition related to GWs

bull The main problem is when we try to study the energy that GWs is supposed to transfer as waves

bull The first attempt was a first order expansion of the metric (see Sean Carrollrsquos General Relativity Class Notes -- differential geometry)

bull g_mu nu = n_mu nu + h_mu nu (2)

bull Thus for energy definition we have to move to at least a second order approximation of the form (3)

Sean Carrollrsquos Notes on General Theory of Relativity

bull He explains to us

bull lsquoIn fact we have been cheating slightly all along In discussing the effects of gravitational waves on test particles and the generation of waves by a binary system we have been using the fact that test particles move along geodesics

bull But as we know this is derived from the covariant conservation of energy-momentum nablaμ Tμ = 0 In the order to which we have been working however we actually have partial μ T_μnu = 0 which would imply that test particles move on straight lines in the flat background metric

bull This is a symptom of the fundamental inconsistency of the solve the weak field equations to some appropriate order and then justify after the fact the validity of the solutionrsquo In practice the best that can be done is to solve the weak field equations to some appropriate order and then justify after the fact the validity of the solutionrsquo

bull Following next his analytical presentation it is necessary to define

bull with G^(2)_numu the part of Einsteinrsquos tensor that is second order in perturbation weak field limit

bull But the notation treats t_μnu as a tensor which is not true

bull Making things more sensitive it is not even invariant under gauge transformations (infinitesimal diffeomorphisms)

bull The remedy to the problem is not a

bull satisfactory one provided the extremely difficult extensions of GTR

bull As for our current issue the approximations of two black holes are far away from the simplified two body problem described at page 159 of Carrollrsquos Class Notes on GTR

Summarizing

bull We saw that event GW150914 has some main issues that need top be further clarified

bull it violates the upper limit of lightrsquos speed

bull it is based on a concept (lsquoblack holersquo) that has not been observed independently before

bull it has quietly inserted non altered space (arms) and time (clocks) components

bull it uses weak field approximation which suffers from several mathematical problems Specially lsquocos it struggles with point-like particles instead of actual astrophysical objects

bull We have to wait until a reasonable sample of similar events have been reported in order to argue that we have reached at such strong results

bull Notice similarly that it cannot be defined any kind of Statistics with sample N = 1 Thus all statistical claims of the paper although maybe technically correct cannot be accepted under the main spirit of statistical thinking the sample of experiments

LOCALIZATION AND BROADBAND FOLLOW-UP OF GW150914

- Preprint Article to be Published by LIGO Science Team -

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Main arguments Signal traveled greater than light

bull The light distance between Hanford (H1) and Livingston (L1) detectors is 10ms The PRL paper argues (see its Fig 1) that signal arrived to H1 after 69+05 minus04 ms later

bull Given that 1) GRT predicts that GWs propagates at the speed of light c hellip and 2) Supposing that the GW Wfrontfirst hit L1

bull Then accepting that 1) GWs do exist and 2) event GW150914 observed them

bull One concludes that GWs moved form L1 to H1 with a velocity v cong 145 c gt c Unacceptable from both GRT and SRT

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

bull Thatrsquos a very strong demand

bull Some questions immediately arise

bull 1 Why such a typical wave pattern should be associated to the non directly observed concept of lsquoblack holersquo and especially to its more sophisticated versionlsquo coalescence of rotating BHsrsquo

bull 2 What is the logical legitimation for accepting ad hoc of a non previously and independently detecting physical object (BH) as hypothetically existed in order to claim for a more advanced observation (GWs)

GRT Approx with Post Newtonian Expansions

bull Soon after one reads that lsquoAt the lower frequencies such evolution is characterized by the chirp massrsquo as described at [4] (miscitation )

bull Remember that It is broadly accepted that GRT dropped away Newtonian theory

bull Nonetheless when we want to perform GR computations we come back to Newtonrsquos gravitational potential but expanded in a more sophisticated form rather than solving the direct Einsteinrsquos field equations

bull Once again such GTR does not hold fordescribing a binary system

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Main arguments Where did time effects go

bull GRT predicts gws alter the lsquospacetimersquo and not only space

bull In all the experiment however there is not even one remark about what is the effect of GWs to clocks

bull How can we measure frequencies without having solved the time problem

bull Keep in mind that the main equation of the paper is the ldquochirp massrdquo (frequency f and its time derivative`˙f )

bull The only reference about time is lsquoData collection is synchronized to Global Positioning System (GPS) time to better than 10 μs [66] Timing accuracy is verified with an atomic clock and a secondary GPS receiver at each observatory sitersquo

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

bull Thatrsquos a very strong demand

bull Some questions immediately arise

bull 1 Why such a typical wave pattern should be associated to the non directly observed concept of lsquoblack holersquo and especially to its more sophisticated versionlsquo coalescence of rotating BHsrsquo

bull 2 What is the logical legitimation for accepting ad hoc of a non previously and independently detecting physical object (BH) as hypothetically existed in order to claim for a more advanced observation (GWs)

Fundamental problems of weak field approximation Energy definition related to GWs

bull The main problem is when we try to study the energy that GWs is supposed to transfer as waves

bull The first attempt was a first order expansion of the metric (see Sean Carrollrsquos General Relativity Class Notes -- differential geometry)

bull g_mu nu = n_mu nu + h_mu nu (2)

bull Thus for energy definition we have to move to at least a second order approximation of the form (3)

LOCALIZATION AND BROADBAND FOLLOW-UP OF GW150914

- Preprint Article to be Published by LIGO Science Team -

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Main arguments Signal traveled greater than light

bull The light distance between Hanford (H1) and Livingston (L1) detectors is 10ms The PRL paper argues (see its Fig 1) that signal arrived to H1 after 69+05 minus04 ms later

bull Given that 1) GRT predicts that GWs propagates at the speed of light c hellip and 2) Supposing that the GW Wfrontfirst hit L1

bull Then accepting that 1) GWs do exist and 2) event GW150914 observed them

bull One concludes that GWs moved form L1 to H1 with a velocity v cong 145 c gt c Unacceptable from both GRT and SRT

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

bull Thatrsquos a very strong demand

bull Some questions immediately arise

bull 1 Why such a typical wave pattern should be associated to the non directly observed concept of lsquoblack holersquo and especially to its more sophisticated versionlsquo coalescence of rotating BHsrsquo

bull 2 What is the logical legitimation for accepting ad hoc of a non previously and independently detecting physical object (BH) as hypothetically existed in order to claim for a more advanced observation (GWs)

GRT Approx with Post Newtonian Expansions

bull Soon after one reads that lsquoAt the lower frequencies such evolution is characterized by the chirp massrsquo as described at [4] (miscitation )

bull Remember that It is broadly accepted that GRT dropped away Newtonian theory

bull Nonetheless when we want to perform GR computations we come back to Newtonrsquos gravitational potential but expanded in a more sophisticated form rather than solving the direct Einsteinrsquos field equations

bull Once again such GTR does not hold fordescribing a binary system

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Main arguments Where did time effects go

bull GRT predicts gws alter the lsquospacetimersquo and not only space

bull In all the experiment however there is not even one remark about what is the effect of GWs to clocks

bull How can we measure frequencies without having solved the time problem

bull Keep in mind that the main equation of the paper is the ldquochirp massrdquo (frequency f and its time derivative`˙f )

bull The only reference about time is lsquoData collection is synchronized to Global Positioning System (GPS) time to better than 10 μs [66] Timing accuracy is verified with an atomic clock and a secondary GPS receiver at each observatory sitersquo

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

bull Thatrsquos a very strong demand

bull Some questions immediately arise

bull 1 Why such a typical wave pattern should be associated to the non directly observed concept of lsquoblack holersquo and especially to its more sophisticated versionlsquo coalescence of rotating BHsrsquo

bull 2 What is the logical legitimation for accepting ad hoc of a non previously and independently detecting physical object (BH) as hypothetically existed in order to claim for a more advanced observation (GWs)

Fundamental problems of weak field approximation Energy definition related to GWs

bull The main problem is when we try to study the energy that GWs is supposed to transfer as waves

bull The first attempt was a first order expansion of the metric (see Sean Carrollrsquos General Relativity Class Notes -- differential geometry)

bull g_mu nu = n_mu nu + h_mu nu (2)

bull Thus for energy definition we have to move to at least a second order approximation of the form (3)

Sean Carrollrsquos Notes on General Theory of Relativity

bull He explains to us

bull lsquoIn fact we have been cheating slightly all along In discussing the effects of gravitational waves on test particles and the generation of waves by a binary system we have been using the fact that test particles move along geodesics

bull But as we know this is derived from the covariant conservation of energy-momentum nablaμ Tμ = 0 In the order to which we have been working however we actually have partial μ T_μnu = 0 which would imply that test particles move on straight lines in the flat background metric

bull This is a symptom of the fundamental inconsistency of the solve the weak field equations to some appropriate order and then justify after the fact the validity of the solutionrsquo In practice the best that can be done is to solve the weak field equations to some appropriate order and then justify after the fact the validity of the solutionrsquo

bull Following next his analytical presentation it is necessary to define

bull with G^(2)_numu the part of Einsteinrsquos tensor that is second order in perturbation weak field limit

bull But the notation treats t_μnu as a tensor which is not true

bull Making things more sensitive it is not even invariant under gauge transformations (infinitesimal diffeomorphisms)

bull The remedy to the problem is not a

bull satisfactory one provided the extremely difficult extensions of GTR

bull As for our current issue the approximations of two black holes are far away from the simplified two body problem described at page 159 of Carrollrsquos Class Notes on GTR

Summarizing

bull We saw that event GW150914 has some main issues that need top be further clarified

bull it violates the upper limit of lightrsquos speed

bull it is based on a concept (lsquoblack holersquo) that has not been observed independently before

bull it has quietly inserted non altered space (arms) and time (clocks) components

bull it uses weak field approximation which suffers from several mathematical problems Specially lsquocos it struggles with point-like particles instead of actual astrophysical objects

bull We have to wait until a reasonable sample of similar events have been reported in order to argue that we have reached at such strong results

bull Notice similarly that it cannot be defined any kind of Statistics with sample N = 1 Thus all statistical claims of the paper although maybe technically correct cannot be accepted under the main spirit of statistical thinking the sample of experiments

LOCALIZATION AND BROADBAND FOLLOW-UP OF GW150914

- Preprint Article to be Published by LIGO Science Team -

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Main arguments Signal traveled greater than light

bull The light distance between Hanford (H1) and Livingston (L1) detectors is 10ms The PRL paper argues (see its Fig 1) that signal arrived to H1 after 69+05 minus04 ms later

bull Given that 1) GRT predicts that GWs propagates at the speed of light c hellip and 2) Supposing that the GW Wfrontfirst hit L1

bull Then accepting that 1) GWs do exist and 2) event GW150914 observed them

bull One concludes that GWs moved form L1 to H1 with a velocity v cong 145 c gt c Unacceptable from both GRT and SRT

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

bull Thatrsquos a very strong demand

bull Some questions immediately arise

bull 1 Why such a typical wave pattern should be associated to the non directly observed concept of lsquoblack holersquo and especially to its more sophisticated versionlsquo coalescence of rotating BHsrsquo

bull 2 What is the logical legitimation for accepting ad hoc of a non previously and independently detecting physical object (BH) as hypothetically existed in order to claim for a more advanced observation (GWs)

GRT Approx with Post Newtonian Expansions

bull Soon after one reads that lsquoAt the lower frequencies such evolution is characterized by the chirp massrsquo as described at [4] (miscitation )

bull Remember that It is broadly accepted that GRT dropped away Newtonian theory

bull Nonetheless when we want to perform GR computations we come back to Newtonrsquos gravitational potential but expanded in a more sophisticated form rather than solving the direct Einsteinrsquos field equations

bull Once again such GTR does not hold fordescribing a binary system

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Main arguments Where did time effects go

bull GRT predicts gws alter the lsquospacetimersquo and not only space

bull In all the experiment however there is not even one remark about what is the effect of GWs to clocks

bull How can we measure frequencies without having solved the time problem

bull Keep in mind that the main equation of the paper is the ldquochirp massrdquo (frequency f and its time derivative`˙f )

bull The only reference about time is lsquoData collection is synchronized to Global Positioning System (GPS) time to better than 10 μs [66] Timing accuracy is verified with an atomic clock and a secondary GPS receiver at each observatory sitersquo

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

bull Thatrsquos a very strong demand

bull 2 What is the logical legitimation for accepting ad hoc of a non previously and independently detecting physical object (BH) as hypothetically existed in order to claim for a more advanced observation (GWs)

Fundamental problems of weak field approximation Energy definition related to GWs

bull The main problem is when we try to study the energy that GWs is supposed to transfer as waves

bull The first attempt was a first order expansion of the metric (see Sean Carrollrsquos General Relativity Class Notes -- differential geometry)

bull g_mu nu = n_mu nu + h_mu nu (2)

bull Thus for energy definition we have to move to at least a second order approximation of the form (3)

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Sean Carrollrsquos Notes on General Theory of Relativity

bull He explains to us

bull lsquoIn fact we have been cheating slightly all along In discussing the effects of gravitational waves on test particles and the generation of waves by a binary system we have been using the fact that test particles move along geodesics

bull But as we know this is derived from the covariant conservation of energy-momentum nablaμ Tμ = 0 In the order to which we have been working however we actually have partial μ T_μnu = 0 which would imply that test particles move on straight lines in the flat background metric

bull This is a symptom of the fundamental inconsistency of the solve the weak field equations to some appropriate order and then justify after the fact the validity of the solutionrsquo In practice the best that can be done is to solve the weak field equations to some appropriate order and then justify after the fact the validity of the solutionrsquo

bull Following next his analytical presentation it is necessary to define

bull with G^(2)_numu the part of Einsteinrsquos tensor that is second order in perturbation weak field limit

bull But the notation treats t_μnu as a tensor which is not true

bull Making things more sensitive it is not even invariant under gauge transformations (infinitesimal diffeomorphisms)

bull The remedy to the problem is not a

bull satisfactory one provided the extremely difficult extensions of GTR

bull As for our current issue the approximations of two black holes are far away from the simplified two body problem described at page 159 of Carrollrsquos Class Notes on GTR

Summarizing

bull We saw that event GW150914 has some main issues that need top be further clarified

bull it violates the upper limit of lightrsquos speed

bull it has quietly inserted non altered space (arms) and time (clocks) components

bull it uses weak field approximation which suffers from several mathematical problems Specially lsquocos it struggles with point-like particles instead of actual astrophysical objects

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Main arguments Signal traveled greater than light

bull The light distance between Hanford (H1) and Livingston (L1) detectors is 10ms The PRL paper argues (see its Fig 1) that signal arrived to H1 after 69+05 minus04 ms later

bull Given that 1) GRT predicts that GWs propagates at the speed of light c hellip and 2) Supposing that the GW Wfrontfirst hit L1

bull Then accepting that 1) GWs do exist and 2) event GW150914 observed them

bull One concludes that GWs moved form L1 to H1 with a velocity v cong 145 c gt c Unacceptable from both GRT and SRT

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

bull Thatrsquos a very strong demand

bull Some questions immediately arise

bull 1 Why such a typical wave pattern should be associated to the non directly observed concept of lsquoblack holersquo and especially to its more sophisticated versionlsquo coalescence of rotating BHsrsquo

bull 2 What is the logical legitimation for accepting ad hoc of a non previously and independently detecting physical object (BH) as hypothetically existed in order to claim for a more advanced observation (GWs)

GRT Approx with Post Newtonian Expansions

bull Soon after one reads that lsquoAt the lower frequencies such evolution is characterized by the chirp massrsquo as described at [4] (miscitation )

bull Remember that It is broadly accepted that GRT dropped away Newtonian theory

bull Nonetheless when we want to perform GR computations we come back to Newtonrsquos gravitational potential but expanded in a more sophisticated form rather than solving the direct Einsteinrsquos field equations

bull Once again such GTR does not hold fordescribing a binary system

Main arguments Where did time effects go

bull GRT predicts gws alter the lsquospacetimersquo and not only space

bull In all the experiment however there is not even one remark about what is the effect of GWs to clocks

bull How can we measure frequencies without having solved the time problem

bull Keep in mind that the main equation of the paper is the ldquochirp massrdquo (frequency f and its time derivative`˙f )

bull The only reference about time is lsquoData collection is synchronized to Global Positioning System (GPS) time to better than 10 μs [66] Timing accuracy is verified with an atomic clock and a secondary GPS receiver at each observatory sitersquo

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

Fundamental problems of weak field approximation Energy definition related to GWs

bull The main problem is when we try to study the energy that GWs is supposed to transfer as waves

bull The first attempt was a first order expansion of the metric (see Sean Carrollrsquos General Relativity Class Notes -- differential geometry)

bull g_mu nu = n_mu nu + h_mu nu (2)

bull Thus for energy definition we have to move to at least a second order approximation of the form (3)

bull lsquoIn fact we have been cheating slightly all along In discussing the effects of gravitational waves on test particles and the generation of waves by a binary system we have been using the fact that test particles move along geodesics

bull But as we know this is derived from the covariant conservation of energy-momentum nablaμ Tμ = 0 In the order to which we have been working however we actually have partial μ T_μnu = 0 which would imply that test particles move on straight lines in the flat background metric

- Preprint Article to be Published by LIGO Science Team -

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Main arguments Signal traveled greater than light

bull The light distance between Hanford (H1) and Livingston (L1) detectors is 10ms The PRL paper argues (see its Fig 1) that signal arrived to H1 after 69+05 minus04 ms later

bull Given that 1) GRT predicts that GWs propagates at the speed of light c hellip and 2) Supposing that the GW Wfrontfirst hit L1

bull Then accepting that 1) GWs do exist and 2) event GW150914 observed them

bull One concludes that GWs moved form L1 to H1 with a velocity v cong 145 c gt c Unacceptable from both GRT and SRT

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

bull Thatrsquos a very strong demand

bull Some questions immediately arise

bull 1 Why such a typical wave pattern should be associated to the non directly observed concept of lsquoblack holersquo and especially to its more sophisticated versionlsquo coalescence of rotating BHsrsquo

bull 2 What is the logical legitimation for accepting ad hoc of a non previously and independently detecting physical object (BH) as hypothetically existed in order to claim for a more advanced observation (GWs)

GRT Approx with Post Newtonian Expansions

bull Soon after one reads that lsquoAt the lower frequencies such evolution is characterized by the chirp massrsquo as described at [4] (miscitation )

bull Remember that It is broadly accepted that GRT dropped away Newtonian theory

bull Nonetheless when we want to perform GR computations we come back to Newtonrsquos gravitational potential but expanded in a more sophisticated form rather than solving the direct Einsteinrsquos field equations

bull Once again such GTR does not hold fordescribing a binary system

bull In all the experiment however there is not even one remark about what is the effect of GWs to clocks

bull How can we measure frequencies without having solved the time problem

bull The only reference about time is lsquoData collection is synchronized to Global Positioning System (GPS) time to better than 10 μs [66] Timing accuracy is verified with an atomic clock and a secondary GPS receiver at each observatory sitersquo

Fundamental problems of weak field approximation Energy definition related to GWs

bull The main problem is when we try to study the energy that GWs is supposed to transfer as waves

bull The first attempt was a first order expansion of the metric (see Sean Carrollrsquos General Relativity Class Notes -- differential geometry)

bull g_mu nu = n_mu nu + h_mu nu (2)

bull Thus for energy definition we have to move to at least a second order approximation of the form (3)

A critical review of event GW150914 observed by LIGO - Laser Interferometer GW Observatories (Hanford WA ndash Livingston LA)

Main arguments Where did time effects go

bull GRT predicts gws alter the lsquospacetimersquo and not only space

bull In all the experiment however there is not even one remark about what is the effect of GWs to clocks

bull How can we measure frequencies without having solved the time problem

bull Keep in mind that the main equation of the paper is the ldquochirp massrdquo (frequency f and its time derivative`˙f )

bull The only reference about time is lsquoData collection is synchronized to Global Positioning System (GPS) time to better than 10 μs [66] Timing accuracy is verified with an atomic clock and a secondary GPS receiver at each observatory sitersquo

The most plausible explanation

bull The main argument of paper is given at page 3 lsquoOver 02 s the signal increases in frequency and amplitude in about 8 cycles from 35 to 150 Hz where the amplitude reaches a maximum The most plausible explanation for this evolution is the inspiral of two orbiting masses m1 and m2 due to gravitational-wave emissionrsquo

bull Thatrsquos a very strong demand

bull Some questions immediately arise

bull 1 Why such a typical wave pattern should be associated to the non directly observed concept of lsquoblack holersquo and especially to its more sophisticated versionlsquo coalescence of rotating BHsrsquo

bull 2 What is the logical legitimation for accepting ad hoc of a non previously and independently detecting physical object (BH) as hypothetically existed in order to claim for a more advanced observation (GWs)

Fundamental problems of weak field approximation Energy definition related to GWs

bull The main problem is when we try to study the energy that GWs is supposed to transfer as waves

bull The first attempt was a first order expansion of the metric (see Sean Carrollrsquos General Relativity Class Notes -- differential geometry)

bull g_mu nu = n_mu nu + h_mu nu (2)

bull Thus for energy definition we have to move to at least a second order approximation of the form (3)
