[time-nuts] LIGO detects gravitational waves

[Chris Albertson]

I've been wondering if this would ever happen in our lifetime.  The
detector is good but still it requires such a huge and rare event to be
detectable as two black holes crashing into each other.  How often does
that happen?  Are black hole ever formed in pairs, if not a crash would be
very unlikely.  Is this a case of unbelievable luck or is this an every few
years event?     I guess we will find out
