Years ago we had SETI at Home, which never turned up anything, a result which astonishes me to this day.

 

The LIGO is another thing that just baffles my beak.  Now there is a LIGO version of SETI at Home, which allows proles to search for black hole mergers at home:

Is that cool or what?  How can there be so many black hole mergers this late in the game?
