Contemplate that! |
the energy involved reflects the fact that the space-time continuum has been disturbed and measured across a vast distance, albeit a short and faint signal.
the flip side of this is that perhaps these massive energy and collision events arent very common.
I wonder if they will detect something similar in the future?
