Exist Quote by Rainer Weiss

I thought that there must be an easier way to explain how a gravitational wave interacts with matter: If one just looked at the…

Many of us on the project were thinking if we ever saw a gravitational wave, it'd be an itsy bitsy little tiny thing; we'd…

“A modern example of this stunning knowledge of nature that Einstein has gifted us, comes from 2016, when gravitational waves were discovered by a…

The obvious thing to me was, let's take freely floating masses in space and measure the time it takes light to travel between them.…

The detection of gravitational waves is truly a triumph of modern large-scale experimental physics.

— Barry Barish

What was done is measure directly, with exquisitely sensitive instruments, gravitational waves predicted about 100 years ago by Albert Einstein. These waves are a…

For reasons probably related to the popular vision of Albert Einstein and, also, the threat posed by black holes in comic books and science…

I said, suppose you take a light - I was thinking of just light bulbs because, in those days, lasers were not yet really…

It's a spectacular signal. It's a signal many of us have wanted to observe since the time LIGO was proposed. It shows the dynamics…

Bars are about experience and interaction; so often, the people make the bar.

When gravitational waves reach the earth, the waves stretch and squeeze space. This is a tiny stretch and squeeze. Far too small to detect…

— Kip Thorne

A gravitational wave is a very slight stretching in one dimension. If there's a gravitational wave traveling towards you, you get a stretch in…
