Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory | Estateplanning

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a groundbreaking facility that detects gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of spacetime predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. Collaborating with the Virgo detector in Italy, LIGO has revolutionized our understanding of the universe, from black hole mergers to neutron star collisions. Founded by Kip Thorne, Ronald Drever, and Rainer Weiss, LIGO's innovative technology has been recognized with the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics.
