The incredible story of how teaming up helped astronomers accomplish the impossible – Inverse
In 2017, the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to three physicists for their work with LIGO on gravitational waves. Here’s how they found the elusive waves.
Over a billion years ago, in the distant universe, two black holes collided.
They spiraled around one another, several times per second, before crashing into each other, merging into a single, even bigger black hole.
Such a collision creates tiny ripples in the fabric of space-time, known as gravitational waves, akin to a seismic wave spreading from an earthquake.
