Does detector LIGO work on freewill only?

I haven't read the Wiki yet.
The mirrors are suspended from elaborate multi-stage pendulums in order to be insulated from the movement of the ground, and enable them to move practically freely along the beam axis which is what matters here.
If they are rigidly attached to the arms of LIGO, then, there is the True God. They are attached rigidly, according to the theory of the LIGO: Soviet Physics JETP, v.16, № 2, 433, 1963). To not offend the atheists one writes everywhere the lie: "the mirrors are free-moving". The Science is about the politics, and the politics likes the tolerance.

Come on, don't be an idiot. I just posted pictures of the actual pendulum assembly. Are you trolling or are you that dense?

Come on... I just posted pictures of the actual pendulum assembly.
If one hangs a mirror on the rope anywhere in the world, will it vibrate at the arrival of a gravitational wave? Even if it will, then the magnitude of the vibration does not depend on the fact that 4 km away the other mirror is suspended. Mirrors are independent. Is it logical? Therefore, the mirrors simply screwed tightly to the ends of the LIGO detector.

I've explained it above. The mirrors don't primarily vibrate in space. The arrival of the gravitational wave changes the spacetime metric between the mirrors and the distance between the them as "freely falling " test masses changes instantaneously. The mirrors are not screwed tightly, we've shown you enough links and info now. What is so hard to understand?

I'm going with both.
Besides the info you provided, he also makes the 110% non-sequitur leap from 'the mirrors are screwed in' to 'that means the true god exists'. Because of course he has to ignore all the Christians who believe in both God and gravitational waves.

Interesting logic

1. There's this obscure Russian paper from the 60s
2. Therefore the mirrors are screwed tightly despite every single expert and actual photographs showing that they aren't
3. ...
4. God!

I admit, you're in a tough spot if your worldview entire depends on that the mirrors in some interferometer are installed differently from reality. It's almost worse than having virgin birth and resurrection.

At least virgin births and resurrections make for good story telling.
I can't imagine any decent book ending with the plot twist... "The mirrors were screwed in all along!!!"

I suppose forlorn hope is the only appropriate response to another forlorn hope.
