Do we Owe our Existence to Gravitational Waves? Neutron-star collisions arise from energy loss due to gravitational-wave emission from binary systems, leading us to suggest that gravitational waves have played a key role in enabling human life by producing iodine and bromine.

This line of reasoning is homological: this is like to say, we owe our existence to elementary particles due to various esoteric phenomena, where they manifest itself directly (aka NMR resonance of nuclear spin). The underlying causality is indeed much deeper.

Gravitational waves are complete bullshit.

Gravitational waves are complete bullshit

Not complete but I also think that gravitational waves are hyperdimensional artifact of 4D relativity and as such they're merely a dark matter waves, i.e. ripples of virtual photons and scalar waves density. Einstein knew why he dismissed their existence first.. But various violations of reductionist theories often turn out to be quite a physical - and vice-versa indeed. Isn't it what the Goedel's theorems are actually about? Low dimensional reality can not exists without extradimensions - no matter in how subtle/inobtrusive way they manifest itself. We can not have water surface without underwater, 4D space-time without luminiferous aether and so on. See also:
