Winners more likely to cheat is a propaganda to turn economic losers against winners. They're more likely to cheat because they think they can get away with it. Everybody is programmed to cheat. Peaceful, voluntary interaction reduces the motive. Government increases it.

More on supposed discovery of gravity waves.

It doesn't help when you announce one of the scientists who supposedly discovered gravity waves has dementia.

Criticism of the claim.

"LIGO is said to measure ripples instigated by the vibration in spacetime as they pass through the Earth. What effect are those ripples supposed to cause? An expansion of the planet smaller than one-ten-thousandth the diameter of a proton (10^-19 meters)."

This claim won't stand.

"Seismic noise is a problem because the detector is near an interstate highway and a rail line. When trains went by, the interferometer was knocked out. Nearby logging is also a continuing problem. The team claims that dampening and filtering systems solved those issues."

Yeah, right.

Model of black hole merger supposedly discovered by LIGO.

"Dubbed GW150914, the gravitational waves detected by LIGO are consistent with the merger of 36 and 29 solar mass black holes at a distance of 1.3 billion light-years."

It's also consistent with Star Trek.
