No man gets instruction from that which tends to destruction. No man receives illumination from a quarter where all is darkness. Let our “seeking,” therefore be in that which is our own, and from those who are our own, and concerning that which is our own,—that, and only that, which can become an object of inquiry without impairing the rule of faith.
Tertullian, “On Prescription Against Heretics,” Chapter XII

Astronomers say black holes are the ultimate machines of destruction. Now some scientists are claiming their LIGO apparatus has detected gravitational waves from two black holes merging, and they say it took a billion years for those waves to get to us. What should we do with this kind of claim?
Take it for what it's worth --- nothing.
Just speculations, no facts.
