Spacetime ripples

Spacetime ripples
Computer simulation of the gravitational waves radiated by the merging of two black holes: The LISA Pathfinder technology demonstration paved the way to the direct measurement in space of gravitational waves, which will happen from 2034 using the LISA gravitational-wave observatory. The gravitational waves that LISA will pick up cannot be detected on Earth, as they would be swamped by seismic interferences and other factors.
