The astral team is definitely doing great work, and it's wonderful that these tools are permissively licensed, but what happens if astral doesn't work out as a business?

The problem is that we are seeing a lot of correlations. I'd be worried.
eaq · 3 years ago
One technique that is straightforward to understand is that folks have done "time-slide" analyses for many years - i.e. offsetting one detector's data in time - to understand what the "baseline" rate of correlations is in data streams where there is no possible physical origin.

Naturally, much more statistical analysis has been done to ground the claims of "detection"; beyond detailed academic publications, LIGO and others have been producing layperson-accessible science summaries for years/decades that address these and other questions.

So why are we to draw any conclusions one way or the other based off a data set that's statistically insignificant compared to the age of the earth?

If you got a fever tomorrow, would that be statistically insignificant?
