Now that LIGO is operational again, scientists believe it will explain one of Einstein's wildest theories about gravitational waves.
Well, the main goal with LIGO is to get a better understanding of how gravitational waves work, and how Einstein’s theories could help us better understand the cosmos as a whole.
Now, though, with LIGO, we may finally be able to get a clearer picture of what Einstein was trying to say. To measure gravitational waves using LIGO, researchers essentially shine a giant laser from the center of the facility to the base of the L. From there, the laser is split, allowing the beam to travel down each arm of the observatory, reflecting off a mirror and back to the base.
