Albert Einstein’s gravitational waves predicted 100 years ago finally detected
Q. Scientists have detected gravitational waves in fabric of space time predicted by Albert Einstein exactly 100 years ago using LIGO. What does LIGO stand for?- Published on 12 Feb 16a. Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
b. Laser Interferometer Gravity-Wave Observatory
c. Laser Interceptor Gravitational-Wave Observatory
d. Light Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
ANSWER: Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory
In a discovery that has been lauded by scientist Stephen Hawking and the scientific world, scientists have detected gravitation waves as the ripples in the fabric of space time predicted by Einstein 100 years ago finally became confirmed. This moment has been likened to the time when Galileo took to the telescope to observe planets. Discovery of these waves formed by violent collisions in the universe opens new ways of observing the cosmos,, specifically its soundtrack. A USD 1.1. billion instrument Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, has been used to detect a gravitational wave from the distant crash of two black holes, one of the ways these ripples are created. This discovery is as big as the finding of the God particle.
