At my mentorship, we try to simulate binary black hole
collisions. When these binary black hole systems spiral around each other, (theoretically)
gravitational waves are produced. Because science has yet to produce solid
evidence on the existence of these waves, different forms of detectors have
been planned to find them. LIGO is an example of an interferometer that already
exists in the United States, but to yield more precise results, interferometers
are being planned in space. LISA is one such space-detector to be created in
the near future. At my mentorship, I was trying to comprehend what LISA would
do and found this awesome video. It is an accurate representation of what LISA
would be. LISA’s creation would indeed be a great asset for physics!
Here is a picture of LIGO (existing):
