Chirps of the Cosmos
Discover how the merger of black holes produces faint signals known as "chirps," which are detected by the highly sensitive LIGO instruments. With a unique optical setup, LIGO uses lasers to measure minuscule changes in length over four kilometers, revealing the profound effects of gravitational waves on space-time. The technology is so advanced that it can detect shifts smaller than a proton's diameter, opening a new window to understanding the universe.In this clip
