About this document
Gravitational Waves: Research Overview by Greg O'Brien is a document available to read on EtoBox.
- Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime caused by accelerating masses like binary star systems. Experiments like LIGO use highly sensitive detectors to try and directly measure gravitational waves. - LIGO detectors use laser interferometry to measure tiny spacetime distortions caused by passing gravitational waves. No experiment has directly detected gravitational waves yet, but evidence from binary pulsars supports their existence. - Future experiments aim to directly detect gravitational waves, wh
