Gravity Wave Detection Well Before Einstein’s Prediction
Similar Famous Interferometer Experiment in 1887 Led to Theory of Relativity
WASHINGTON, D.C. (February 13, 2016) – Although the detection of gravity waves has just been announced, the same basic principle and device – the Interferometer – was used by two scientists more than 100 years ago in a famous experiment which led to Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity, and to the prediction of gravity waves from the collision of black holes.
