The Discovery of a Lifetime: Gravitational-Waves

This presentation offers an insight to one of the biggest discoveries made in science. The discovery of gravitational-waves had been a long journey to achieve for physicists and scientist. Now gravitational-waves are helping scientists study the universe in a more efficient way never seen before. The discovery of gravitational-waves is a sign that a new era of astronomy and physics is about to open doors for many scientists and astrophysicists. ● Gravitational-waves are energycarrying waves propagating through a gravitational field, produced when a massive body is accelerated or otherwise disturbed. ● Gravitational-waves prove the existence of Black Holes. ● Laser Interferometer Gravitationalwave Observatories (LIGO), the detectors that can detect these ripples of spacetime. ● Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, the detector that will be sent up to space to detect gravitational-waves
