RE: Astronomy 101: Gravitational waves.
It is not the first time I am sad when reading a post about gravitational waves. No one is never talking about Virgo :(
Another of the notorious contributions that will be generated thanks to the detection of gravitational waves is to understand what happened just after the Big Bang, when the cosmos was just being born, information that was previously impossible to determine, because the Universe was totally dark at the beginning, that is, it was transparent to light years later.
Do you mind commenting about this? I am not sure to grasp what you have in mind. Thanks in advance!
PS: By the way, general relativity is from 1915; not 1916,
Hello, sorry for taking so long to answer you.
I believe that the discovery of gravitational waves is a great discovery since it means that new research and theories about the universe could be carried out. More concretely I refer to the dark age of the universe when it was not yet "Enlightened".
And is that until now, most of the discoveries we have found about the universe are based on theories, studies and research carried out through electromagnetic radiation (light, gamma rays, and ultraviolet rays). But now, with the possibility of studying these waves, a whole new range of possibilities opens up where investigations can be carried out based on what gravity does in some places.
Thank for the correction by the way.
My pleasure! Yes, those times are definitely exciting times ^^
