Very exciting, that’s for sure. Anytime you can put a new eye on the universe, you’re bound to learn things you didn’t know before.
In a sense, these gravitational wave “telescopes” are going to allow us to “see” inside black holes (because gravity is the only thing that can escape from a black hole). Well, that’s one explanation I saw, anyway... We’re seeing ripples generated by what is going on inside colliding black holes. And that’s going to tell us things about their interiors at the moment they merge that otherwise we would have no hope of detecting without this technology.
Who knows what we’ll find? I hope it’s something totally mind blowing!
Hopefully it will be my missing socks.......
