Kakade ngo-Aprili 1, inqanaba elilandelayo elide lokuqwalaselwa liqala, elijolise ekuboneni nasekufundeni amaza obunzima - utshintsho kwintsimi ye-gravitational esasaza njengamaza.
Iingcali ezivela kwi-LIGO kunye ne-Virgo observatories ziya kubandakanyeka kwinqanaba elitsha lomsebenzi. Masikhumbule ukuba i-LIGO (i-Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) yi-laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory. Iqukethe iibhloko ezimbini, ezifumaneka eUnited States eLivingston (eLouisiana) naseHanford (Washington State) - kumgama omalunga neekhilomitha ezingamawaka amathathu ukusuka komnye nomnye. Ekubeni isantya sokusasazwa kwamaza omxhuzulane kucingelwa ukuba silingana nesantya sokukhanya, lo mgama unika umahluko we-3 milliseconds, nto leyo esivumela ukuba sigqibe isalathiso somthombo wophawu olurekhodiweyo.
Ngokuphathelele iVirgo, esi sithonga somxhuzulane weFrench-Italian sifumaneka kwi-European Gravitational Observatory (EGO). Icandelo layo eliphambili yiMichelson laser interferometer.
Inqanaba elilandelayo lokuqwalaselwa liya kuthatha unyaka wonke. Kuxelwe ukuba ukudibanisa amandla e-LIGO kunye neVirgo kuya kudala esona sixhobo sinovakalelo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku sokubona amaza omxhuzulane. Kulindeleke, ngokukodwa, ukuba iingcali ziya kukwazi ukubona imiqondiso yohlobo olutsha oluvela kwimithombo eyahlukeneyo kwi-Universe.
Songeza ukuba ukufunyanwa kokuqala kwamaza obunzima kwabhengezwa ngoFebruwari 11, 2016 - umthombo wabo kukudityaniswa kwemingxuma emibini emnyama.
