To Einstei LIGO is an acronym for Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory. The word NSF and the Laser Interferometer Gravitational - Wave Observatory In 1916 , Albert Einstein published the paper that predicted gravitational waves – ripples in the fabric of space - time resulti 1ABriefHistoryofLIGOOnehundredyearsagousinghisrecentlygeneralrelativitytheoryAlbertEinsteinpredictedtheexistenceofgravitationalwavesanddescribedtheirpropertiesToEinsteinthesewavesseemedtooweakevertobe within 10 milliseconds of one another 150 that indicates a gravitational wave And from that minute change scientists are further able to identify the wave146s source and very broadly where in the univ Ravi . kumar. .
