引力波及引力波的探测

引力波也叫引力辐射,是爱因斯坦广义相对论中的一项重要预言,是基础物理和天文学中一个重要的内容。人类为探索引力波付出了几十年的努力,从早期的棒状探测器到后来的激光干涉引力波探测器,各国学术机构和科学家们不断采用最先进的技术寻找引力波源,探测器的探测范围和灵敏度也不断提高。在探测引力波的过程中,形成了一门引力波天文学的新兴学科,使人们逐渐了解宇宙的奥秘,寻找宇宙中天体的运行规律,而引力波也成为了当今科学界学术重点和热门课题。

Gravitational wave and the detection of gravitational wave

Gravitational wave is called gravitational radiation, predicted by Einstein to exist on the basis of general relativity, is an important content of basic physics and astronomy. Human has made hard effort over the past few decades to explore the gravitational wave. From the bar detector in the early to the laser interferometer gravitational observatory, academic institutions and the scientists from the different countries adopt the most advance technology to find sources of gravitational wave constantly. The detection range and the sensitivity of the detector are increasing continuously. A new subject of gravitational astronomy has come into being in the process of detection. People can know the mysteries of the universe gradually, to fund the operation laws of the cosmos. The gravitational wave has become the emphases of scientific and academic and hot topic at present.
