Echoes of the Cosmos: Unveiling Secrets with Gravity Waves
Peering into the Cosmic Abyss: A Look at Gravitational Wave Astronomy For centuries, we've looked to the cosmos with telescopes, capturing its light and unraveling the secrets of stars, galaxies, and even the very fabric of spacetime. But there's a whole other universe out there, hidden from our traditional view – a universe that vibrates, ripples, and whispers secrets through space-time itself: the universe of gravitational waves. These elusive ripples were first predicted by Albert Einstein over a century ago as part of his theory of general relativity. He envisioned massive objects like black holes or neutron stars interacting in ways that distort the very fabric of spacetime, sending out ripples that propagate at the speed of light. For decades,...
