I don’t understand this comment... It’s true that the first event occurred after only two days but ligo have 11 events over two running periods at this point. https://en.m.wikipedi…

That would be more than a 5 sigma difference which would definitely be significant but that number you're quoting for normal hydrogren is the 1S-2S line. This measurement is the 1S…

The article is just discussing a type of data analysis. The machine runs the same way regardless.

The gist is that you would roughly look for deviations from theory on one (probably small) dataset, you'd identify any regions of interest and then run a proper analysis of that re…
