Newslink: Make Your Own Gravitational Waves with 'BlackHoles@Home'

in newslink •  6 years ago 

Scientists want your help studying black holes — and you can do it from your own home!

When black holes collide, they disrupt the fabric of space-time and send ripples through the cosmos known as gravitational waves. By measuring those waves, scientists can learn more about the properties of the black-hole merger that created them. However, interpreting that data requires a tremendous amount of computing power. That's where citizen scientists come in.
