Well, I do not know. What affects the power output?

Well, I know that the G. Waves LIGO detected did not have a strong magnitude, because the detection lasted for 0.2 seconds. Plus, if I were sitting on the source and if I knew how powerful the source is...I think I could work out the distance.

Thanks for your quick reply, I know that Einstein predicted the existence of G. Waves in 1916 and that in his theory space and time are connected. Plus I know that G. Waves are ripples created in the frabric of space-time. About LIGO I read how they were able to detect G. Waves; What they used...

I am doing a term paper on G. Waves and I have a couple of questions about them. - How do we know that the G. Waves detected by LIGO on September 14, 2015, come from 1.5 billion light years? - How is Einstein's Theory related to them?

RIP PROFESSOR HAWKING ! We all going to miss you! :(

Hi everyone, my name is Andrew Washington, I am 18 and I am from NYC. I love physics and my favorite topic is black holes...(obsessed with them). I am developing a term paper on black holes and general relativity. I am so happy to be in this forum... I have Instagram and if you want to follow me...
