Ligo In India

LIGO-India will significantly enhance scientists' ability to pinpoint the sources of gravitational waves -- ripples in the fabric of space and time -- and answer fundamental questions about the universe, experts say.

The twin detectors of LIGO - which made the first ever direct detection of gravitational waves - have been restarted and scientists expect to detect more black hole mergers from farther out in the universe.

Maharashtra's Hingoli district has been chosen for carrying out experiments on the ambitious LIGO project that proved existence of gravitational waves, a major breakthrough in science.

India and the US today signed an agreement for establishing Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in India that will play significant role in carrying forward frontline research on various aspects of gravitational wave astronomy.

"A significant presence of Indian scientist exists in this milestone scientific achievement," Union Minister for Science and Technology, Harsh Vardhan, said.

The Prime Minister announced that within its limited resources India will also participate and contribute in the research through the LIGO.

In order to power both the gravitational wave event and the gamma-ray burst, the twin black holes must have been born close together.

With the Indian government giving in-principle approval for establishing a state-of-the-art LIGO interferometer in the country, a top US scientist has said it is "technically feasible" for the project to be operational by the end of 2023.

In a major boost to Indian science research, the Union cabinet on Wednesday approved a proposal to establish a state-of-the-art gravitational wave observatory in India in collaboration with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) in the US.

A state-of-the-art gravitational waves observatory will be set up in India in collaboration with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO).

The announcement of detection of gravitational waves was made simultaneously at IUCAA, Pune, and by scientists in Washington DC, USA.

The landmark discovery of the first direct evidence of gravitational waves or ripples in space-time, which Albert Einstein predicted a century ago, will enable mankind to listen to the stars, and not just see them, scientists say.

The gravitational waves experiment which has created ripples across the world saw participation of 37 Indian scientists from several Indian institutions.
