Findings of gravitational waves by international researchers Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) welcomed by scientists. One happy with these findings is the physicist Stephen Hawking.
Quoted from Economic Times, Friday, February 12, 2016, Hawking said the findings are often referred to as a wave of waves in space and time that correspond to the predictions 40 years ago at the University of Cambridge, England.
"Gravitational waves provide a whole new way to search in the universe. The ability to detect them has the potential to revolutionize astronomy," said Hawking.
He said the discovery is the first detection of a binary system of black holes (black hole) and the first observation of the unification of the black hole.
"The nature of the system (gravity waves) that have been observed are consistent with predictions about black holes that I created in 1970 right here in Cambridge," he said.
He said the final area of the black hole was far larger than the total area of the black hole that originally he had expected.
Hawking said that, apart from testing the theory of general relativity, at least with those findings, we can expect to see a black hole in the universe's history.
"We may see a relic of the earliest universe during the Big Bang," he said.
Researchers said the discovery of gravitational waves is a milestone in the world of astronomy and astrophysics. Because gravitational waves is not like a light wave. Gravitational waves are not distorted or changed by the interaction of matter. Because of gravitational waves streaking through space. Therefore, this wave brings pure and genuine information about objects and events that created them.
"The gravitational waves opens a new window on the universe, actually will provide astronomers and other scientists beginning of the magic moments are invisible and could not see before," said a member of the LIGO team.
The discovery of the wave will be also recognized additional provisions for the LIGO researchers to understand the nature of space and time. Scientists say the gravitational waves opens the door to a new way of observing the universe and gain knowledge about the mysterious objects like black holes and neutron stars. By studying the gravitational waves they are also hoping to get an insight into the nature of the early universe, which remains mysterious.
The findings prove the theory scientist Albert Einstein submitted a century ago.
Known in 1916, Albert Einstein proposed the existence of gravitational waves as a result of the foundation of the theory of general relativity. It describes the theory of gravity as an aberration of space and time that is triggered by the presence of matter.
