Thanks for your input. SF Cookie agrees that compensation for the movement of the detectors through the universe is necessary but says the movement can be fairly easily factored into the calculations. What's nagging my thinking is that even if calculating the arc movements of the Earth and...

@Lord Crc >The Earth is essentially stationary in that time frame. How can you say that? If the Earth is traveling 67062 miles per hour around the sun in 0.2 we would have moved 0.3725 miles approx which is massive if your measuring something to a fraction of a proton. That's not even...

Thank you for your answers. It is a phenomenal accomplishment that all these things can be compensated for and filtered out to the required level of accuracy. @DaveC426913 Thanks for your diagrams. What I was trying to understand is that, in your Gif with the horizontal yellow beam, the beam...

How is it possible to compensate for LIGO's movement in the recent measurement of Gravitational Waves? I can understand that we are able to measure something to a tiny fraction of a proton when the subject and observer are both moving relative to each other through space but how is it possible...
