摘要

We live in an exciting time for research in gravity. Gravitational waves (GWs), the ripples in the fabric of spacetime predicted by Einstein a hundred years ago, have finally been detected experimentally. The first detection of GWs, emitted by the merger of two massive black holes, was made by LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitationalwave Observatory) in 2015 [1], and there have been six detections in total. The most recent two, one of which provides the first signal from the merger of two neutron stars, were confirmed by the Virgo interferometer [2]. These observations are amazing feats of modern technology that mark the advent of gravitational-wave astronomy, a new way of looking out into the cosmos by observing gravitational rather than electromagnetic radiation. They therefore raise the possibility of discovering new phenomena that have until now remained hidden. This monumental achievement earned the 2017 Nobel prize in physics for Rainer Weiss, Barry Barish and Kip Thorne, the three main contributors to this research.
