  5. Aug 7, 2023 · Watch the clip to see Thorne explain what gravitational waves can tell us about the formation of the universe and what happens when black holes collide.

  6. One consequence of Einstein’s general theory of relativity is the existence of gravitational waves. These are like ripples in a four-dimensional spacetime that occur when objects with mass accelerate. The effects are very small. Beginning in the 1970s the LIGO detector was developed.
