in englischer SpracheIm September 2015 konnte erstmals eine Gravitationswelle gemessen werden. Die Fusion zweier schwarzer Löcher hatte riesige Energiemengen ins Weltall geschleudert. Gravitationswellen produzieren alle beschleunigten Massen. Die europäische GEO-Kollaboration entwickelt dafür neue Detektortechnologien, die völlig neue Möglichkeiten zur Erforschung des Weltalls bieten.
