Searching for gravitational waves with new interferometers Michael Landry LIGO Hanford Observatory C

Scientists have said that they have found evidence to suggest that the universe is replete with low-frequency gravitational waves – ripples in the fabric of space-time that are created by huge objects moving around, colliding, and merging with each other, and predicted by Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity more than 100 years ago
