(english) Gravitational waves (GW) are tiny oscillations in the fabric of space-time, first hypothesised within the framework of Einstein’s General theory of Relativity (GR) a little more than 100 years ago. The first ...

The gravitational wave event GW150914 was the first direct detection of gravitational waves roughly 100 years after their prediction by Albert Einstein. The detection was a breakthrough, opening another channel to observe ...

Gravitational waves are a consequence of Albert Einstein’s General theory of relativity, which he put forward in 1916. One hundred years later, in 2015, a gravitational wave signal from two merging black holes was detected ...
