The Search for Gravitational Waves: New Documentary About LIGO Premieres on April 15
What happens when stars or black holes collide? Scientists have theorized that the energy released would disturb the very fabric of the space-time continuum, much like ripples in a pond. These ripples are called gravitational waves, and while proving the existence of these waves has been difficult, their detection would open a brand new window on our understanding of the Universe.
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatories (LIGO) have been searching for these elusive waves. A new documentary about LIGO will premiere here on Universe Today tomorrow (April 15, 2014) documenting the science and people behind the unprecedented astronomical tool designed to catch sight of violent cosmic events trillions of miles from our planet.
