Quick Questions on Virgo: “Why do scientists search for gravitational waves?”
The study of gravitational waves will be fundamental to understanding the nature of gravitation and open a new window on the Universe
Quick Questions on Virgo and GWs: “Are gravitational waves different from electromagnetic waves?”
Yes, the nature of these two kinds of waves are completely different, even if the generation “mechanisms” are similar.
Quick Questions on Virgo: “What are gravitational waves?”
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime that propagate throughout the Universe at the speed of light.
