Gravitational Wave Detection

Gravitational wave detection refers to the use of high-precision instruments to detect minute distortions in spacetime caused by strong gravitational field events, such as black hole mergers or neutron star collisions. Its objective is to capture the gravitational wave signals produced by these cosmic phenomena to verify general relativity and explore extreme physical states in the universe. The application value of gravitational wave detection lies in providing a brand new observational method that can reveal astrophysical processes inaccessible to traditional electromagnetic wave observations, thereby advancing fundamental physics and astronomy.
