BRUSSELS, Belgium, Sept. 7 (TNSres) -- Free University of Brussels-VUB issued the following news release:
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime. The phenomenon can be compared to ripples on a sheet when a heavy ball is placed on it and spun around. In the universe, these "balls" are massive objects such as black holes and neutron stars, which vibrate spacetime as they orbit and eventually merge. These gravitational waves are emitted through space and, although very . . .
