Description
Uncovering Einstein's New Universe takes you on an extraordinary journey through the groundbreaking discoveries of gravitational waves. This compelling book, published in 2022 by UWA Publishing, provides a unique perspective on how gravitational wave astronomy has transformed our understanding of the cosmos. From Einstein's radical predictions about a universe filled with warped time and space to the astonishing moment when a thousand physicists came together to validate his theories, this book is a must-read for anyone fascinated by modern physics.
Discover the incredible story of the Wallal Expedition of 1922, led by Alexander Ross from the University of Western Australia, which marked the genesis of detecting gravitational waves. The narrative explores how numerous dedicated scientists across Australia contributed to this monumental scientific achievement, allowing humanity to 'hear' the universe in ways previously unimaginable.
Uncovering Einstein's New Universe dives deeply into concepts of energy, space, and time, making complex ideas accessible for both enthusiasts and scholars alike.
Each chapter unfolds the mystery of waves traveling at light speed, delivering vital information about the fate of our universe. Experience the thrill of scientific discovery and the adventure that has taken a century to unfold.

Description:
Einstein gave us a vision of a new universe in which time and space are warped and rippling in response to everything else in the universe. Vast bursts of energy in the form of ripples of pure and empty space are passing through us at light speed, carrying messages about a dying universe and about the places where space, time and matter all cease to exist.
It took a century of struggle to understand Einstein’s prophesy. Einstein doubted his predictions, and eventually, it took 1000 physicists to detect his greatest prophecy of all, gravitational waves.
The definitive proof of Einstein’s new universe began with donkey trains and sailing ships at Wallal in 1922. A century of struggle by an array of eccentric and determined scientists brought us to the era of gravitational wave astronomy where our detectors, like bionic ears, have given us a brand new sense, an ability to hear across the vast scale of the universe.
This book tells the international story from an Australian perspective, from the Wallal Expedition, instigated by Alexander Ross of the University of Western Australia, to the Australia-wide team that participated in the discovery of gravitational waves and continues to lead national efforts in gravitational wave discovery.
