How scientists will keep searching for gravitational waves

2/13/2016

This article discusses the groundbreaking detection of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in 2015. It explains how gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space-time caused by the acceleration of massive objects. The article describes the advanced equipment and techniques used by LIGO to detect these incredibly faint signals, including the use of laser interferometry and precise timing methods. It also mentions other projects, such as the European Space Agency's proposed eLISA mission, which aim to further study and confirm the existence of gravitational waves. The discovery of gravitational waves has opened up new possibilities for observing and understanding the universe.
