   What is the largest mass gap seen in a gravitational wave source?

   • 2019 – Advanced LIGO and VIRGO detect GW190814, the collision of a 26-solar-mass black hole and a 2.6-solar-mass object, either an extremely heavy neutron star or a very light black hole. This is the largest mass gap seen in a gravitational-wave source to-date.

   Could future measurements reveal evidence of gravitational waves in the early universe?

   • Future measurements could also reveal evidence about gravitational waves in the early universe; this additional information is contained in the background radiation's polarization, cf. Kamionkowski, Kosowsky & Stebbins 1997 and Seljak & Zaldarriaga 1997 ^ Carroll 2001; an accessible overview is given in Caldwell 2004.

   Are there gravitational waves?

   • Predicted in 1916 by Albert Einstein, there are gravitational waves: ripples in the metric of spacetime that propagate at the speed of light. These are one of several analogies between weak-field gravity and electromagnetism in that, they are analogous to electromagnetic waves.

   4 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.

   1 day ago · Gravitational waves were detected for the first time by the LIGO detector in 2015. For contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves, two Caltech physicists, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist Rainer Weiss won the Nobel Prize in physics in 2017.

   5 days ago · Gravitational waves are tiny oscillations of space-time on the local scale of the universe originating from astrophysical events. They were first predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916 in his General Theory of Relativity and it was only in 2015, that the first gravitational wave pulse was observed.

    3 days ago · 1986 – Bernard Schutz shows that cosmic distances can be determined using sources of gravitational waves without references to the cosmic distance ladder. Standard-siren astronomy is born. 1988 – Mike Morris, Kip Thorne, and Yurtsever Ulvi obtain the Morris-Thorne wormhole. Morris and Thorne argue for its pedagogical value.
