I wonder how many science experiments were done on earth yesterday. It was probably more than a thousand. This is why if you are doing science, you should always do the sciences that will give amazing headlines if you are right. Maybe you will be one of that day's lucky one in a thousand!

This is an unnecessarily cynical point of view.

There has been 1 pulsar-timing experiment looking for gravitational waves and it produced this positive, 1-in-1000 result. Seems extremely promising.
