Einstein was right: the science and history of gravitational waves
Buchwald, Jed Z. (Ed.)
Einstein was right: the science and history of gravitational waves - Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2020. - xi, 235p.; hbk; 25cm.
Includes notes, reference, contributions and Index
In 1915, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by the movement of large masses—as part of the theory of general relativity. A century later, researchers with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) confirmed Einstein’s prediction, detecting gravitational waves generated by the collision of two black holes. Shedding new light on the hundred-year history of this momentous achievement, Einstein Was Right brings together essays by two of the physicists who won the Nobel Prize for their instrumental roles in the discovery, along with contributions by leading scholars who offer unparalleled insights into one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of our time.
