Einstein's Heirs

Two black holes spiraled, their dance sent ripples through the universe – racing at speed of light waves warp spacetime. A billion years later, on a small planet, laser beams zoom between mirrors, capture the echo. Einstein’s heirs decode the message. 10/3/2017 In honor of the scientists and engineers who contributed to the discovery of gravitational waves which was honored with the Nobel Prize in physics today

Thank you, Connie. Yes, the detector is an absolute marvel; the idea is genius, and that they managed to actually build it is spectacular. The shift in length they detect is 1/10,000th the size of a proton!

Thank you, Arthur. I have to read up more about the experiment; so far, I was aware only of the change in length, but I am not a specialist in this area.

I love this tribute, Agnes. It is so well deserved.
