How long can we expect to be looking for gravitationel waves
LHC isn't giving us much work on BOINC, but Einstein, on the other hand, seems to have plenty of work for us. We are now running S5 - how far can we expect to go? AFAIK, no gravitationel waves have been proven yet, but in case we start finding them how far will the Einstein project go? I have heard astronomers will be able to utilize the gravitationel waves, but do we need to find more gravitationel waves than those generated in MW or in our neighbour? And how far have we come with that job? Not that i hate the Einstein project, but sure enough i would be happy to heard that gravitationel waves have now been proven and located throughout the hole galaxy or in the neighbourhood so i can attend other project. But by far Einstein is my favorite project in BOINC.

We've been looking for gravitational waves with LIGO, and a few other projects, but I don't think many people think our chances of seeing them will be very good until LISA is up and running, and even then LISA might be on the hairy edge of seeing these. Future projects will potentially stand a better chance.

2014... Something to look forward to then
 Actually i thought we had found proves for gravitationel waves, but that's true, i was wrong on that one

We already have found very strong indirect evidence (from binary pulsars)... The discoverers received Nobel prizes for the discovery.
