Detection in Gravitational Wave
Abstract
Gravitational waves, first predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916, are tiny ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by some of the most violent events in the universe, such as the collision of black holes and neutron stars. Their ability to directly detect these signals has significantly changed the game in astrophysics, opening up new avenues for researchers to observe and understand cosmic events that were previously inaccessible with conventional telescopes. This review examines the principal methodologies employed in the detection of gravitational waves, highlighting their importance in scientific progress, the challenges faced, and the technological advancements that have supported their development over time.
