Detecting Gravitational Waves

Don't let 'em get you down!

I have been reading articles about science trying to detect Gravitational waves since I was a kid at shcool in the '60s and used to read New Scientist in the library. Now two sets have been found within a few months of each other, that's impressive because this stuff is hard, difficult science. Even more impressive is the thought that a solar mass can be converted totally into energy in a second, no wonder the ripples of that bang can still be felt 1.4 billion years later.

Top Boffin Ken! keep up the good work.
