How might you watch a swell in space? On the off chance that the space between you and me extended or compacted, we wouldn't see it on the off chance that we had made blemishes on our figurative elastic sheet, for instance, utilizing similarly separated rocks. Since these imprints would likewise get extended further separated. In any case, there is one ruler that doesn't get extended, one made utilizing the speed of light. In the event that the space between two focuses gets extended, then light will take more time to go from one indicate the other. Furthermore, if the space gets crushed, light sets aside less opportunity to cross the two focuses. This is the place the LIGO test comes welcome has 4 kilometer long passages and utilizations lasers to quantify the adjustments out yonder between the closures of the passages. At the point when a gravitational wave comes through, it extends space in one heading, and crushes space in the other course. By measuring the impedance of the lasers as they skip between the diverse focuses, physicists can quantify decisively whether the space in the middle of has extended or packed. Scientists now have the capacity to investigate the Universe in this entire new way. That is the reason distinguishing gravitational waves is so noteworthy. Mostafa Eltobgy
