It Happened Here: LIGO installation at Hanford detects gravitational wave
The instrument is so sensitive that the Hanford device was picking up a raven pecking at the frost on the pipes that ...
Future gravitational wave observatories could see the earliest black hole mergers in the universe
In February 2016, scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) confirmed they made the first-ever detection of gravitational waves (GWs). These events occur when ...
A New Theory Says the Universe Is Rebooting Itself
A fringe theory known as non-singular matter bouncing cosmology claims to answer these issues by suggesting that the universe ...
