Idiots in science: "there's a good chance we're going to see more black hole collisions this year"

In February 2016, physicists declared the century-long search for gravitational waves was over.

Einstein predicted the existence of such ripples in the fabric of spacetime in 1915, but he doubted their weak signatures could be detected.

But more than 1,000 researchers used the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) -- two giant, L-shaped detectors -- to record such waves in September 2015 emanating from the cataclysmic merger of two black holes. They also found another signature in December 2015.

However, LIGO was shut down in January 2016 and has been offline ever since -- until Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. ET, according to a Caltech University press release.

"LIGO's scientific and operational staff have been working hard for the past year and are enthusiastic to restart round-the-clock observations," Joe Giaime, an astrophysicist at Louisiana State University and LIGO member, said in the release.
