Signals of gravity

Physics Nobel Prize 2017 for Gravitational Wave Researchers: This book offers a cutting-edge introduction and overview with the latest research!

The discovery of gravitational waves is a scientific sensation. For the first time since Albert Einstein's prediction, these signals of gravity could be measured: When black holes collide, the entire universe shakes.

The detection of now half a dozen spacetime oscillations is another triumph for the theory of relativity and an enormous success of technology. These achievements have now been honored with the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics.

From Einstein to the Big Bang and beyond: Gravitational waves have opened a new era of astrophysics.
