    ... that she does gravitational waves herself @Home.

    (I know it's lame, but I couldn't resist, sorry)

    BOINC is free software (LGPL) but also the actual scientific calculations software is free software (BSD 2 clause).

    If I understand this summary, this @Home project is to simulate black hole collisions while the Einstein@Home project is to analyze LIGO data?

      What if they just pipe the BlackHole@Home simulation data into the Einstein@Home project? When your science is basically able to be spoofed by simulated data, we really need third party sources rather than government funded outfits with military ties and "Yay-Gov!" propaganda objectives...

        It would be a great way to test whether the Einstein@Home code works correctly.

        Oh sorry, you were going for a conspiracy theory. You know what? By claiming a conspiracy behind everything you are harming the credibility of all those who point out real conspiracies.

        Well, maybe you're part of a big conspiracy aiming at damaging the credibility of conspiracy theories? :-)

    Everyone who isn't selfish and greedy and racist needs to buy a new pc to run this. Take out a loan if need be.

      Discriminating means deciding. Discriminating over what is or isn't a Black Holes is not racist, it's SPACE-RACIST!
