PBS Space Time: Gravitational Wave Background Discovered?

19mAired 2021-02-17

It was pretty impressive when LIGO detected gravitational waves from colliding black holes. Well we’ve just taken that to the next level with a galaxy-spanning gravitational wave detector that may have detected a foundational element of space itself - the gravitational wave background.
