Helping to Prove the Existence of Gravitational Waves

 Challenge Since 1916, the existence of gravitational waves has been predicted. However, even Albert Einstein never dreamed that such phenomenally small events could actually be observed and measured. Nearly a century later, in 2002, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) started looking for these distortions in the fabric of space-time. But nearly a decade of … Continue reading
