[net.physics] black holes and gravity waves

I think there are two main reasons why gravity waves are controversial:
1)  They have not been reliably detected.
2)  It is not obvious from a theoretical viewpoint that they are
    physically significant.  Recall that energy conservation is NOT a
    requirement in General Relativity!
