Will gravitational waves be able to shed light on the expansion rate of the universe?

  • One response
The Wirgo gravitational wave detector near Pisa in Italy is supposed to return to operation in the spring of 2017, and thus it is possible that three detectors of this type will operate together, in three different places in the world, for at least a month. Source: The Virgo collaboration.

A new detector will determine the origin of gravitational waves
