Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory will be built in Maharashtra in partnership with US, at estimated cost of Rs 2,600 crore by 2030. It will be the world’s third LIGO project.
Gravitational waves can help determine expansion rate, according to team at International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Findings published in 'Physical Review Letters'.
Findings were made after an observation period of nearly 15 years using 'cosmic clocks' called pulsars — rapidly spinning neutron stars that emit bursts of energy with a precise period.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
