Gravitational waves the greatest discovery of 2017
The LIGO and VIRGO detectors detected a unique type of gravitational wave that was coming out from the collision of two distant neutron stars located around 130 million years away from earth. This detection of gravitational waves generating from the merger of two neutron stars has been declared the scientific breakthrough of the year by […]
Indians contributed a major part in the Gravitational Waves Observation
Indian scientists have played an influential role in the observation of gravitational waves. Around 40 scientists from 13 Indian institutes were involved in this research including IIT-Bombay institute. The gravitational waves which formed from the collision of two neutron stars detected by Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Europe’s Virgo for the first time, as per the resources. According […]
