The two Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatories (LIGO) are designed to detect gravitational waves and are expected to provide a powerful new tool for exploring the universe. They will not. Clearly, gravitational waves are real, but the LIGO observatories will not be able to detect them. This book tells us how and why this LIGO failure may ultimately trigger the most radical change in theoretical physics since Einstein's introduction of special relativity in 1905.
