A new adaptive optics technology is set to transform
gravitational-wave detection, allowing LIGO and future
observatories like Cosmic Explorer to reach new heights.
By correcting mirror distortions, this breakthrough will
enable extreme laser power levels, helping scientists
explore the universe’s earliest moments and refine our
understanding of black holes and spacetime.
. . .
A TRUTH - every time the precision of the
instrumentation doubles, old sure-nuf
theories crumble en-masse.
Hmmm ... if the scopes of the time had been
able to detect the precession of Mercury's
orbit. if speed/mass relations been even
sort-of detected - would Newton have ever writ
down his 'laws' ??? Scary stuff !
