Strange new senses, feeling like a cross between hearing and touch, detected waves of power radiating from the Coulalakritous.
That said... We currently have not detected, explicitly, gravitational waves.
First, people have been attempting to detect gravitational waves directly for a few decades now and the research continues today.
Such pairs of accelerometers in theory may also be able to detect gravitational waves.
Weber bars are not sensitive enough to detect anything but extremely powerful gravitational waves.
This problem is essential for the ongoing global effort to detect gravitational waves.
In 1969, Weber thought he had detected such waves, but his results could not be repeated by others.
"And by now we should be detecting only neural waves if any are present here to detect - and there aren't."
No gift was needed to detect waves of frustration, relief and annoyance.
An informative, easy-to-read account of scientists' attempts to detect and measure gravitational waves.
