AI reimagines gravitational wave detection with innovative designs

AI finds new ways to observe the most extreme events in the universe

Extreme cosmic events such as colliding black holes or the explosions of stars can cause ripples in spacetime, so-called gravitational waves. Their discovery opened a new window into the universe. To observe them, ultra-precise detectors are required. Designing them remains a major scientific challenge for humans. Researchers have been working on how an artificial intelligence system could explore an unimaginably vast space of possible designs t…

Scientists Are Looking for Aliens All Wrong—This New Theory Could Prove We’re Not Alone!

The search for alien life has long been focused on detecting signals from distant civilizations, primarily through electromagnetic waves like radio signals. However, renowned astrophysicist Avi Loeb suggests that scientists have been going about this search the wrong way. According to Loeb, the key to potentially revealing alien communications lies not in radio signals, but in something far subtler—gravity distortions. Rethinking SETI For decade…
