Indian telescope helps scientists hear 'hum' of gravitational waves

In a major breakthrough, a global team of astronomers that included scientists from seven Indian institutes have, for the first time, heard the low-pitch “hum” of gravitational waves reverberating across the universe, the existence of which was predicted by Albert Einstein. India’s upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) near Pune was one of the world’s six most sensitive radio telescopes that played a key role in discovering the persistent hum. The gravitational waves (GW) are thought to have originated from the merger of super-massive black holes in the early universe, soon after the Big Bang. With this discovery, scientists hope to learn more about physical reality and answer mysteries about the nature of merging super-massive black holes and what brings them together.
