Massive flashes of energy known as ‘fast radio bursts’ have puzzled astronomers for years – and a new search for links to gravitational waves has so far found no connection.
To better detect gravitational waves, we need to build the quietest and most isolated thing on Earth. And make sure we don’t drop those 40kg mirrors.
Einstein called entanglement “spooky action at a distance”. But now it’s been used to design an incredibly sensitive detection method for gravitational waves.
