Well, it's over. Waiting for the experts here to weigh in on what this stuff means. 
So Krauss popularised the rumours?

So Krauss popularised the rumours?

Quote:About two weeks before I visited the Louisiana laboratory, a well-known theoretical physicist named Lawrence Krauss fired off that reverberated around the physics community: “My earlier rumor about LIGO has been confirmed by independent sources. Stay tuned! Gravitational waves may have been discovered!! Exciting.” This was subsequently retweeted more than 3,400 times.
