Gravitational Waves: Distortions in the Fabric of Space-Time

Gravitational waves, imperceptible undulations in the very structure of space-time, arise from the most tumultuous and high-energy occurrences in the cosmos. These phenomena encompass the collision of black holes, the implosion of massive stellar cores, the fusion of neutron stars or white dwarf stars, the irregular gyrations of non-spherical neutron stars, and conceivably, the echoes of gravitational radiation dating back to the inception of the universe.

In the following video, Dr. Padi Boyd elucidates the concept of gravitational waves and underscores the pivotal role played by the Hubble Space Telescope in unraveling the enigmatic facets of our universe.
