Catch a Wave From Space

Imagine the journey it took for us to have come to the developement of the methods to discern the nature of the Universe, and what Einstein has done for us in terms of General Relativity. A statement, about Gravity.




Imagine these great distances in space, and no way in which to speak about them other then in what LIGO will translate? That any extention of this prevailing thought could not have found relevance in the connection, from that event to now, and we have found ourselves limited in this view, with bold statements in regards to Redshifting perspectives?



Without a conceptual framework in which to look at the gravitational differences within the cosmo, how the heck would any of this variation make sense, if you did not have some model in which to regulate distances traversed, in the space that must be travelled?

Albert Einstein discovered long ago that we are adrift in a universe filled with waves from space. Colliding black holes, collapsing stars, and spinning pulsars create ripples in the fabric of space and time that subtly distort the world around us. These gravitational waves have eluded scientists for nearly a century. Exciting new experiments will let them catch the waves in action and open a whole new window on the universe - but they need your help to do it!

Cosmic strings are associated with models in which the set of minima are not simply-connected, that is, the vacuum manifold has `holes' in it. The minimum energy states on the left form a circle and the string corresponds to a non-trivial winding around this.
