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 ...
"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 ...
The detection of gravitationalwaves marks the culmination of a decades-long quest that began in 1972, when Weiss wrote a paper outlining the basic design of LIGO. In 1979, the National Science Foundation funded research and development work at both MIT and Caltech, and LIGO construction began in 1994.
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 ...
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 ...
Einstein's gravitationalwaves 'open window on universe' Topic: Science and Technology Photo shows When two black holes collide, the resulting gravitational ripples can be felt across the cosmos.
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 ...
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 ...
The tweet that sparked speculation Einstein's gravitationalwaves had been found. Finding them, however, would be comprehensive proof that Einstein's famous theory of General Relativity is ...
