   What are gravitational waves?

   • Gravitational waves are sometimes called gravity waves, but gravity waves typically refer to displacement waves in fluids. In 1916 Albert Einstein demonstrated that gravitational waves result from his general theory of relativity as ripples in spacetime.

   Who discovered gravitational waves?

   • In 1993, Russell A. Hulse and Joseph Hooton Taylor Jr. received the Nobel Prize in Physics for this discovery. The first direct observation of gravitational waves was made in 2015, when a signal generated by the merger of two black holes was received by the LIGO gravitational wave detectors in Livingston, Louisiana, and in Hanford, Washington.

   What astrophysical source generates relic gravitational waves?

   • An astrophysical source at the high-frequency end of the gravitational-wave spectrum (above 10 5 Hz and probably 10 10 Hz) generates [clarification needed] relic gravitational waves that are theorized to be faint imprints of the Big Bang like the cosmic microwave background.

   How do Gravitational waves propagate in black holes?

   • In addition to forming deep gravity wells and coalescing into a single larger black hole, gravitational waves will propagate outwards as the black holes spin past each other.

   5 days ago · Thorne's research has focused on gravitation physics and astrophysics, with emphasis on relativistic stars, black holes and gravitational waves. In the late 1960's and early 70's he laid the foundations for the theory of pulsations of relativistic stars and the gravitational waves they emit.
