WE DETECTED GRAVITATIONAL WAVES…. A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away… two black holes collided in a fateful swirling waltz. Just like when you toss a rock into a pond and it creates ripples on the surface of the water, this collision sent ripples through the fabric of space time. And we finally detected one of these ripples or as researchers call them, gravitational waves.

This may be your best non-help board post. No offense.

Well...it's not THAT simple.

When there are slight vibrations in the ground, outside of the experiment, you can get the lasers out of phase.

So, the way to make sure that that isn't happening is if you do it in separate locations. And see that same response.


That's why there's a site in Louisiana.
