Gravitational Waves Detected: Einstein’s Theory Proven 100 Years Later

Albert Einstein predicted gravitational waves over a century ago. In 2015, they were finally found by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). This big find confirmed Einstein’s theory and started a new chapter in astronomy. These waves are tiny ripples in space that scientists had been searching for for years. Thanks to new technology, they could finally spot them. Now, scientists can see things they…

Gravitational Waves: A New Window to the Universe

“Gravitational waves, after a century of theorizing, have finally been observed. This is the beginning of a new era in physics and astronomy.” – Kip Thorne, Nobel Laureate in Physics. These words from Kip Thorne highlight our journey into gravitational waves. They are like ripples in spacetime that let us see the universe in a new way. Scientists have long talked about these waves since…
