  • With that as a goal, it is no wonder a whole generation of gravitational wave researchers have spent their careers developing equipment capable of picking up these ultra-subtle signals. Long on ambition but short on sensitivity, the detectors have seen more than half a century of innovation and improvements to isolate them from the slightest disturbances. The effort has brought us to the threshold of detection, but the dogged pursuit has come at a price. Here, Clark says the search for ripples in space-time could shake up theories a little more than people bargained for.
