Overview

Who We Are The LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) is a group of scientists who work together on the direct detection of gravitational waves and use them to explore the fundamental physics of gravity. We're also developing the emerging field of gravitational wave science.

After 10 years of black hole science, Stephen Hawking is proven right

Researchers have spent 10 years improving the massive detectors they use to catch shockwaves from colliding black holes, and now the science is precise enough to test one of Stephen Hawking's key ideas.
