Question

Did you know? In September 2015 LIGO detected gravitational waves for the first time — ripples in spacetime, predicted by Einstein in 1916. The source was a merger of two black holes 1.3 billion light-years away. The change LIGO measured: 1/1,000th of an atomic-nucleus diameter.

In September 2015 LIGO detected gravitational waves for the first time — ripples in spacetime, predicted by Einstein in 1916. The source was a merger of two black holes 1.3 billion light-years away. The change LIGO measured: 1/1,000th of an atomic-nucleus diameter.

In september 2015 detecteerde LIGO voor het eerst zwaartekrachtsgolven — rimpelingen in de ruimtetijd, voorspeld door Einstein in 1916. De bron was een fusie tussen twee zwarte gaten 1,3 miljard lichtjaar verderop. De verandering die LIGO mat: 1/1.000 van een atoomkern-diameter.
