- Within minutes of when the LIGO observatories detected gravitational waves, they made a prediction about which direction the waves probably came from. This article summarizes how they did that and comments on why it is important. http://www.thephysicsmill.com/2016/03/06/direction-ligos-gravitational-waves/ 5 comments science
- General relativity tells us spacetime is curved. It is possible to directly measure this curvature using the precession of gyroscopes. This article explains how this works and summarizes some of the experiments, like Gravity Probe B, which have used this technique. http://www.thephysicsmill.com/2015/12/27/measuring-the-curvature-of-spacetime-with-the-geodetic-effect/ 29 comments science
- A summary of the three "classical" tests of general relativity that originally provided evidence the theory was right. http://www.thephysicsmill.com/2015/11/28/classical-tests-general-relativity/ 5 comments science
- We see a strange pattern in the CMB, the leftover radiation from the early universe. This article summarizes peer-reviewed ideas as to the cause of this pattern, and discusses whether or not the pattern is worth worrying about. http://www.thephysicsmill.com/2015/10/31/the-cmb-axis-of-evil-and-the-nature-of-randomness/ 19 comments science
