Ngomhla ka-Ephreli 1, isigaba esilandelayo sesikhathi eside sokubhekwa sizoqala, okuhloswe ngaso ukuthola nokufunda amagagasi adonsela phansi - izinguquko emkhakheni we-gravitational osakazeka njengamagagasi.
Ochwepheshe be-LIGO kanye ne-Virgo observatories bazobandakanyeka esigabeni esisha somsebenzi. I-LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) iyi-laser-interferometer gravitational-wave observatory. Iqukethe amayunithi amabili atholakala e-Livingston, e-Louisiana, nase-Hanford, e-Washington, e-USA, cishe ngamakhilomitha angu-3 ngokuhlukana. Njengoba amagagasi adonsela phansi kucatshangwa ukuthi ahamba ngesivinini sokukhanya, leli banga liphumela kumehluko wama-millisecond angu-10, okuvumela ukuthi kunqunywe ukuqondiswa kwesignali etholiwe.
I-Virgo, i-French-Italian gravitational wave detector, itholakala e-European Gravitational Observatory (EGO). Ingxenye yayo eyinhloko i-Michelson laser interferometer.
Isigaba esilandelayo sokubhekwa sizohlala unyaka ogcwele. Kubikwa ukuthi amandla ahlanganisiwe e-LIGO kanye ne-Virgo azodala ithuluzi elibucayi kakhulu kuze kube manje ukuthola amagagasi adonsela phansi. Ngokukhethekile, kulindeleke ukuthi ochwepheshe bazokwazi ukuthola izinhlobo ezintsha zamasiginali avela emithonjeni ehlukahlukene ku-Universe.
Kufanele kwengezwe ukuthi ukutholwa kokuqala kwamagagasi adonsela phansi kwamenyezelwa ngoFebhuwari 11, 2016 - umthombo wabo kwakuwukuhlanganiswa kwezimbobo ezimbili ezimnyama.
