No one has yet detected such a wave, but in 2001, physicists may catch such a wave at two elaborate systems of mirrors called LIGO, one in Louisiana and one in Washington state.

To claim the LIGO is a failure before it has reached its design sensitivity is just as ridiculous and ignorant as criticizing any other tool or piece of equipment for not functioning before it is properly calibrated.
