"We have detected gravitationalwaves. We did it!" announced David Reitze, executive director of the 1,000-member team, at a National Science Foundation press conference today in Washington, D.C. Gravitationalwaves are perhaps the most elusive prediction of Einstein's theory, one that he and his contemporaries debated for decades ...
Only a black hole—which is made of pure gravitational energy and gets its mass through Einstein's famous equation E=mc 2 —can pack so much mass into so little space, says Bruce Allen, a LIGO member at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Hanover, Germany. The observation provides the first evidence for black holes that ...
A team from Caltech, MIT and the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) Scientific Collaboration reports success on 14 September 2015, just days after their recommissioned ...
Taylor and Joel M. Weisberg in 1982 found that the orbit of the pulsar was slowly shrinking over time because of the release of energy in the form of gravitationalwaves. For discovering the pulsar and showing that it would make possible this particular gravitationalwave measurement, Hulse and Taylor were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in ...
NATURE | NEWS Einstein's gravitationalwavesfoundat last LIGO 'hears' space-time ripples produced by black-hole collision. 11 February 2016 One hundred years after Albert Einstein predicted the ...
Indirect proof of gravitationalwaves was found in 1974 through the study of a pulsar and a neutron star. Scientists Russell Hulse and Joseph Taylor won the Nobel Prize for physics for that work ...
On 11 February, researchers in the US announced the first direct detection of gravitationalwaves - ripples in space-time that are the final unconfirmed prediction of Albert Einstein's theory ...
The gravitationalwaves were detected on Sept. 14, 2015 at 5:51 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (9:51 UTC) by both of the twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors ...
The discovery of gravitationalwaves from a neutron-star merger and the detection of the event across the electromagnetic spectrum give insight into many aspects of gravity and astrophysics. See ...
