[ExI] LIGO

[John Clark]

On
​ ​
Thursday at 10.30 EST (15.30GMT)
​ ​
the
​ ​
Laser Interferometer Gravitation-Wave Observatory
​ ​
will announce if they've found gravitational waves or not after its recent
upgrade. Before the upgrade LIGO could detect binary neutron star mergers
50 million light years
​
away, after the upgrade it could detect them 650 light years away, a volume
over 2000 times larger. The physics world is full of rumors.
