Gravitational Waves: A Breakthrough in Einstein's Theory

The New Yorker wrote an article calledGravitational Waves Exist The Inside Story of How Scientists Finally Found ThemThe article describes how Professor Rainer Weiss idea to build a device sensitive enough to detect ripples in space-time became aprofessional obsession and a quest that spanned ahalfcentury This quest had a team of over 1000 scientists and engineers focused on the task

Discover the Quantum Nature of Gravity with Gravitational Waves

An illustration of gravitational waves around black hole We may finally have a way to detect the quantum nature of gravity. The question of how gravity and quantum mechanics fit together has been one of the biggest problems in physics for decades. The way that quantum fluctuations affect gravitational waves – ripples in space-time caused …

Spacetime Curvature in Einstein's General Theory of Relativity

According to Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, gravity is no longer a force that acts on massive bodies, as viewed by Isaac Newton’s universal gravitation. Instead, general relativity links gravity to the geometry of spacetime itself, and particularly to its curvature. Learn more at the link!

ML classifies gravitational-wave glitches with high accuracy | Gravitational waves, Black hole, Neutron star

The LIGO observatory can detect astronomical events from billions of light years away. Terabytes of complex daily data makes human analysis impossible. New study applies neural network with up to 97% classification accuracy. Caltech/MIT’s LIGO, the largest gravitational-wave observatory in the world, collects data on minute space-time ripples from cataclysmic astronomical events like colliding black… Read More »ML classifies gravitational-wave glitches with high accuracy The post ML…
