The discovery represents an important advance in understanding the origin of the universe and will confirm Einstein’s theory
It is, according to scientists, a huge step towards understanding the origin of the universe.
Fifteen years of astronomical data allowed a team of researchers to pinpoint distortions in space-time and what was called the “cosmic background,” which is noise from low-frequency gravitational waves generated by colliding black holes.
Mark Kamionkowski, Professor of Astrophysics at Johns Hopkins University:
“It will be very important to our understanding of the evolution of supermassive black holes. And, as I said, this is just a discovery. In the future, we will have more information. We will learn more about the mass spectrum of black holes. Supermassive black holes. And we will learn about the speed at which different supermassive black holes clump together.” We will learn about the distribution of supermassive black holes across the universe.”
This discovery was made by a team of scientists led by the NanoGrav Observatory in the United States, and, according to the researchers, it will represent confirmation of a theory put forward by Albert Einstein more than a century ago.
