Gravitational Waves Detected 100 Years After Einstein’s Prediction – HPC Wire
Larry Smarr's Ph.D. dissertation presaged the announcement of the first detection of gravitational waves created by a merger of two black holes 1.3 billion light-years away.
Gravitational Waves Detected! Historic LIGO Success Strikes Chord with Larry Smarr – HPC Wire
The event that created these particular gravitational waves - the spiraling of two black holes into each other about 1.3 billion light-years away (or 1.3 billion years ago)- was the most energetic event ever detected.The First 50 Years of the Two Black Hole Collision Problem: 1935 to 1985
