Ripples in Spacetime : : Einstein, Gravitational Waves, and the Future of Astronomy / / Govert Schilling.
The detection of gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime—has already been called the scientific coup of this century. Govert Schilling recounts the struggles that threatened to derail the quest and describes the detector’s astounding precision, weaving far-reaching discoveries about the universe in...
