An epoch-making discovery and the greatest feat in years: direct proof of gravitational waves
And Einstein was right. Some 100 years after the prediction of his general theory of relativity, scientists have for the first time recently been able to detect gravitational waves and thus provide proof of spacetime curvature.
Harald Lesch and his co-authors Martin Dittgen, Timothy Hall, Till Heckelbacher, Matthias Helsen, Florian Selig, Judith Selig, Florian Zeller and Roman Zitlau vividly explain the premises and background for this ground-breaking discovery. From exploding stars, through merging black holes to gigantic laser interference detectors: a gripping book about "spacequakes" and "cosmic vampires" – also for non-physicists!
"Germany's foremost popular science clarifier Harald Lesch […] provides a diverting insight into the origin and propagation of gravitational waves."
