Gravitational Waves

Scientific paper

Nearly a century has passed since gravitational waves were first conceived by Poisson in 1908 and shown by Einstein to be an essential consequence of general relativity in 1916. The quest for gravitational waves began with the famous Weber's bar experiment. To date we have no conclusive detection of these elusive waves but many believe we are at the verge of a breakthrough. In this article I will highlight the worlwide quest for gravitational waves and what fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology we might learn by opening this new window of observation.
