Astrophysics: Gravity ripples chased
Marc Kamionkowski1
Abstract
Discovering gravitational waves would not only validate Einstein's theory of gravitation but also reveal aspects of the Universe's earliest moments. The hunt for these elusive ripples is now well under way.
For several decades, physicists have been racing to detect gravitational waves — tiny disturbances in space-time that propagate at the speed of light. But the experiments are challenging.
