It is the force which structures the universe. It creates galaxies, stars and planets. It switches on the nuclear furnaces in stars which bring light and life to the universe. It can accumulate indefinitely and create black holes. It shapes space and alters time.
Gravity waves are like sounds that travel through deep space at the speed of light.
Today we are still only now learning how to detect these sounds. We are now on the brink of a new technology and a fabulous new era of discovery. For the first time humanity will be able to listen to the sounds of the universe. With amazing new technology developed through an intense international collaboration, scientists predict that we will soon be capable of listening in to the birth of the universe itself. The discovery of gravity waves is the Holy Grail of modern physics.
