Since the first time gravitational waves were detected, people compared them to “hearing” the universe. Indeed, it’s a completely new way of observing the universe, one that does not need light. But it sure is an odd sort of “sound”.

Awarding the Nobel prize for physics to something related to gravitational waves was a matter of when—not if. Still, one could have argued it was too early: gravitational waves were not a surprise discovery.
Gravitational waves were the first big story on this blog. I like gravitational waves. So when when something about it makes appears on my radar, I listen.
Even if it means it could all be wrong.
Almost exactly a year ago, LIGO announced the detection of gravitational waves. Let’s celebrate answering two deep questions about them. They are hard, but puppies will keep our spirits up! Continue reading 2 deep questions on gravitational waves (with puppies!)
