"Bartusiak traces the fascinating story of Einstein's greatest achievement, his theory of general relativity, and goes on to explore how physicists' views of gravity waves have evolved over the decades since Einstein first proposed their existence. Revealing portraits of the key…
Annotation Vibrations in space-time--or gravity waves--are the last prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity yet to be observed directly. They are his unfinished symphony. Now Bartusiak captures the excitement as several gravity-wave observatories approach operation…
A new generation of observatories, now being completed worldwide, will give astronomers not just a new window on the cosmos but a whole new sense with which to explore and experience the heavens above us. Instead of collecting light waves or radio waves, these novel instruments …
