Einstein's vision becomes reality
11 February 2016: The scientific world holds its breath... And indeed, researchers working on the American LIGO project succeed in detecting the mysterious gravitational waves. A Nobel Prize-worthy milestone and a triumph for Einstein's theory of space and time.
Physicist Dr. Günter Spanner was involved in the development of the measuring instruments. He reports first-hand and in a way that everyone can understand what you need to know about gravitational waves, why they open a new window to the universe and what further discoveries can be expected.
The author, Dr. Günter Spanner, is an expert in optical measurement technology. In addition to his work as a lecturer in physics and electrical engineering, he has published highly successful books on his areas of expertise.
