Gravitational Waves - How Einsteins spacetime ripples reveal the secrets of the universe Clegg BrianPaperback
Until then, investigation of the universe had depended on electromagnetic radiation: visible light, radio, X-rays and the rest. In 2015 they spotted the ripples produced by two black holes spiralling into each other, setting spacetime quivering.This was the first time black holes had ever been directly detected- and it promises far more for the future of astronomy. But gravitational waves- ripples in the fabric of space and time- are unrelenting, passing through barriers that stop light dead.At the two 2.5 mile long LIGO observatories in the US, scientists developed incredibly sensitive detectors, capable of spotting a movement 100 times smaller than the nucleus of an atom.
Brian Clegg presents a compelling story of human technical endeavour and a new, powerful path to understand the workings of the
