This month, I found a very interesting article that argued that gravitational waves might not exist after all. If this is true, then my senior project would be greatly affected. Fortunately, this is not concrete evidence to prove that gravitational waves don't exist. However, it did still give me a new and fresh perspective on my esoteric topic. The link is below:

Essentially the article states:
Despite earlier reports of a possible detection, a joint analysis of data from ESA's Planck satellite and the ground-based BICEP2 and Keck Array experiments has found no conclusive evidence of primordial gravitational waves. "While we haven't found strong evidence of a signal from primordial gravitational waves in the best observations of CMB polarisation that are currently available, this by no means rules out inflation," says Reno Mandolesi, principal investigator of the LFI instrument on Planck at University of Ferrara, Italy.
