Missing gravitational waves lead to black hole rethink
October 21, 2015 by Chris Marr, Sciencenetwork Wa
Human understanding of galaxies and black holes is being called into question after an 11-year search for mysterious gravitational waves—famously predicted by Albert Einstein 100 years ago—failed to find anything.
Australian researchers have spent more than a decade trying to detect a background 'rumble' from the gravitational waves by using CSIRO's Parkes telescope to observe a particular kind of neutron star known as a 'millisecond pulsar'.
