Run 4: Plan the falsification testALIVE
Do arrival-time residuals survive after detector-timing correction?
The source provides a relevant merger dataset, but it does not directly test delayed ringdown residuals.
SummaryThe source provides a relevant merger dataset, but it does not directly test delayed ringdown residuals.
HypothesisDo arrival-time residuals survive after detector-timing correction?
ObjectionThe experiment plan may still be too indirect unless the residual is measurable above conservative noise bounds.
Next testWhich clean ringdown dataset most directly falsifies the claim that delayed residuals survive conservative noise checks?
Why it matters- It shows whether the topic can be tested with real observations instead of speculative language.
- It keeps the analysis focused on ringdown data, residuals, and clean upper bounds.
- It helps distinguish observational constraints from theoretical storytelling.

SummaryThe source provides a relevant merger dataset, but it does not directly test delayed ringdown residuals.
HypothesisDo arrival-time residuals survive after detector-timing correction?
ObjectionThe evidence may still be insufficient if it does not cleanly rule out alternative waveform explanations.
