Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by some of the most violent and energetic processes in the universe.
from Abstract Essay
Predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916 as a consequence of his General Theory of Relativity, these waves propagate at the speed of light, carrying with them information about their cataclysmic origins and about the nature of gravity. Unlike electromagnetic waves, which travel through space, gravitational waves actually travel through spacetime itself, making them a unique messenger in the realm of astrophysics. Hosted on Acast.
