Turning the Moon into a gravitational wave detector
Turning the Moon into a gravitational wave detector,The potential existence of gravitational waves was first predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916, as a part of his general theory of relativity, but they weren’t detected until nearly a century later, in 2015. The idea, as presented by Einstein, is that truly massive accelerating objects in space create waves of gravity, not unlike waves of water, which emanate out from their source.
