And I know they could be testing me
The data might be wrong
A preplanned concocted recipe
And played up all along
But at least my graphs are beautiful
With sigma 5.1
This I know
This I know
They told me don’t worry about it
Analyze the chirp and
No more
They told me be careful
And doubt it
But I’ve seen a merger
Of black hole-ole-ole-oles!
LIGO feels when space is rippling through
With a wave of
Gravitation
LIGO feels when space is rippling due
To a tensor
Perturbation
Vacuum sealed interferometer
An L 5-mile long
Split a laser, bounce 300 times
Compare the distance gone
One built in Louisiana and one more in Washington
That’s LIGO
Yeah LIGO
A Billion lightyear journey
To cover
Then it hit the Fabry-Perot
Lengthening one leg then
The other
Making fringes dance on
The dio- o- o- ode!
LIGO feels when space is rippling through
With a wave of
Gravitation
LIGO feels when space is rippling due
To a tensor
Perturbation
LIGO feels that space is rippling through
From an ancient
Amalgamation
LIGO feels that space because it’s crew
Gave it seismic
Isolation
This event’s power is
Enormous
Fifty universes
Of suns
We had indirect clues
Before this
All you GR haters
You were wrong -ong -ong
LIGO feels when space is rippling through
With a wave of
Gravitation
LIGO feels when space is rippling due
To a tensor
Perturbation
LIGO feels that space is rippling through
Can you feel the
Excitation?
LIGO’s view of space is rippling through
Our collective
Imagination
