Gravity Waves
Gravity waves, a phenomenon predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity, are ripples in the fabric of spacetime itself. These waves, unlike electromagnetic waves, are caused by the acceleration of massive objects, such as merging black holes or neutron stars. Their detection in recent years has revolutionized our understanding of the universe, offering insights into cosmic events previously unobservable. With their ability to carry information across vast distances, gravity waves have become a powerful tool for probing the most extreme and mysterious phenomena in the cosmos, opening new avenues for exploration and discovery.
