gravitational wave

基本解释

These waves are what those current and planned gravitational wave detectors are designed to look for.
现有的和待造的引力波探测器就是为它们准备的。
The idea is that if a gravitational wave passes through GEO600, it will alternately stretch space in one direction and squeeze it in another.
其基本原理是，当引力波经过GEO600时，它将交替地在一个方向上拉伸空间，在另一个方向上挤压空间。
At present, the observation of PSR1913+16 is the only available proof of gravitational wave, even though merely an indirect evidence it is.
目前为止，对PSR1913+16致密双星辐射阻尼效应的观测，仍然是引力波存在性的唯一间接证据。

For a gravitational wave to be unambiguously identified, it must be detected by more than one instrument.

Unfortunately, a passing gravitational wave will make only a tiny change in the distance the laser beams have to travel.

Applications tested included the heavyweights of the government scientific community — from projects such as MG-RAST (a metagenomics analysis server), the Joint Genome Institute, the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO).

引力波
Presented is also the spectrum for relic gravitational wavesin the current accelerating universe that we have recently obtained. Besides, some of the important progress are mentioned in experimetal detections as well as in theoretical study of gravitational waves.
文中还介绍了近期引力波源研究的一些结果,包括我们最近得到的加速膨胀宇宙中的残余引力波能谱以及引力波探测最新现状。

引力波
The existence of gravitational waves is the direct consequence of Einstein's General Relativity.
引力波是爱因斯坦广义相对论的直接推论，对引力波的检测，是对广义相对论最有效和最严格的检验，也是对广义相对论最有效和最激动人心的检验。
