美国LIGO真的发现了引力波吗?——质疑引力波理论概念及2017年度Nobel物理奖

Did the American LIGO Really Find Out the Gravitational Waves?——Question the concept of gravitational wave and 2017 Nobel Prize in physics.

2015年9月14日,美国激光干涉引力波天文台(LIGO)的2个检测器几乎同时收到一个瞬态信号;据此LIGO团队宣布说:“我们已从两个黑洞的合并观测到引力波,因为检测到的波形与广义相对论的预测一致”。相关的论文发表在2016年2月12日出版的刊物《Phys.Rev.Lett》上。后来LIGO又不断发布探测到引力波的消息,前4次说是由双黑洞合并产生的,第5次(2017年10月16日宣布)是由双中子星合并产生的。2017年10月3日Nobel委员会宣布,LIGO的3位美国科学家获得当年的Nobel物理奖。

On September 14,2015,two detectors of the American Laser Interferometric Gravitational Wave Observatory(LIGO)received a transient signal almost simultaneously;according to this,the LIGO team announced:“We have observed the gravitational wave from the merger of two black holes.Because the detected waveform is consistent with the prediction of general relativity”.The related paper was published in the Phys.Rev.Lett on February 12,2016.After that,LIGO continued to release the news that gravitational waves were detected.The first four times LIGO said that gravitational waves were generated by the merger of double black holes.The fifth times(announced on October 16,2017)LIGO said that gravitational waves were produced by the merger of double neutron stars.On October 3,2017,the Nobel Committee announced that three American scientists from LIGO won the Nobel Physics Award of the year.
