Not exact matches

LIGO's discovery of gravitational waves was a great achievement, but a new analysis suggests the signal could have come from a rather exotic source

Details of a new analysis of last year's BICEP2 results have been accidentally leaked — and seem to show that claiming a gravitational wave discovery was jumping the gun

But instead of the end of the story, scientists see the discovery as the birth of a new field: gravitational wave astronomy.

The discovery showed that gravitational waves offer a new way of observing the universe and are a major tool for astronomers.

From the detection of gravitational waves to the birth of a three - parent baby, New Scientist wraps up the most mind - expanding discoveries of the year

The new LIGO discovery is the first observation of gravitational waves themselves, made by measuring the tiny disturbances the waves make to space and time as they pass through Earth.

The new discoveries show that the gravitational waves predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity, which governs very large - scale phenomena, are also quantum phenomena.

Speaking of the recent discoveries of gravitational waves and detection of he Higgs boson, Perimeter Institute Director Neil Turok calls this a «new golden age for physics.»

The detection by the upgraded Laser Interferometer Gravitational - Wave Observatory (Advanced LIGO), along with two subsequent gravitational wave discoveries, confirmed a major prediction of Einstein's 1915 general theory of relativity and heralded a new era in physics, allowing scientists to study the universe in a new way by using gravity instGravitational - Wave Observatory (Advanced LIGO), along with two subsequent gravitational wave discoveries, confirmed a major prediction of Einstein's 1915 general theory of relativity and heralded a new era in physics, allowing scientists to study the universe in a new way by using gravity instgravitational wave discoveries, confirmed a major prediction of Einstein's 1915 general theory of relativity and heralded a new era in physics, allowing scientists to study the universe in a new way by using gravity instead of light.

By persisting in their studies when confronted by failures to detect any gravitational waves, they finally succeeded; their discovery translates theory into practice, and thereby creates a whole new branch of astronomy.
