Gravitational Waves: The Ripples in Spacetime and their Revolutionary Impact

Abstract

Savino Raffaele*

This paper explores the phenomenon of gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity a century ago and recently confirmed through groundbreaking experiments. Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime, propagating outward from cataclysmic events such as the merger of black holes or neutron stars. Through a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical foundations, experimental techniques, and astrophysical implications of gravitational waves, this study aims to elucidate their revolutionary impact on our understanding of the universe.
