Since few days we are hearing about National Science Foundation's news about LIGO. So in this article we will see what is LIGO project and how it works.  In the famous story of scientist Newton had found the gravitational force exist by which the apple is fall on ground from the tree. That was the fist time in 1687 the gravity was introduced to the general people by the sir Isaac Newton. He formulated the gravity in f=ma formula. After two more century's that is in 1918 sir  Einstein had restated a gravity as a "fictitious force to the curvature of spacetime"  in his theory of relativity. And now after a century the scientist had succeeded in the discovery of gravitational waves in Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) project.  How LIGO operates ?   Actually a LIGO does not detect the gravitational waves it just observes it. It has detected a gravitational waves created from the collision between t...
