Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime, detected for the first time in 2015. The discovery occurred during upgrades to the Advanced LIGO detectors after years of research. The detection sparked excitement and a deeper interest in gravitational waves, which have important implications in understanding the universe. The conversation explored these waves, including what they are, why they matter, and how scientists detect them. This significant breakthrough is considered a milestone in physics and astronomy, building a foundation for future discoveries in these fields.
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime that were first detected in 2015 during the upgrade to the Advanced LIGO detectors.
The moment of first detection was significant after many years of work on the detectors, leading to profound implications for physics.
