Gravitational waves provide a new way of observing the universe. Unlike electromagnetic waves (light), gravitational waves are not easily absorbed or scattered by matter. This means they can travel virtually unimpeded across vast distances, offering a clear view of phenomena that would otherwise be hidden or difficult to study. They provide valuable insights into the nature of black holes, neutron stars, and other exotic objects. Additionally, they offer a new method for probing the early universe and testing fundamental theories of physics.
