Gravitational waves - Lorrany Fernanda Lopes da Silva - Bog

The theory of relativity has contributed significantly to the construction of the technological era in which we live. It is necessary to understand it and the extent to which this scientific proof of the existence of gravitational waves can interfere in our lives. The detection of gravitational waves could completely change astronomy as we know it, because gravitational waves are not interfered with by the medium in which they propagate, so the wave detected is the original wave released by cosmic events, such as the big bang. There is an expectation that in the future we will be able to understand the dynamics of the universe that caused the big bang or even verify whether the big bang really existed or whether another type of event occurred, by reading the wave released by this event, which due to its intensity of force still propagates in space-time.
