Physicists invite aid from China

Gravitational wave detector can solve 'puzzles of the universe'

The world's top scientists in the detection and research of gravitational waves, a field that will open a new window of study of the universe, welcomed Chinese colleagues to participate in their international collaboration.

The current second-generation detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, a collaborative project, has over 1,000 researchers from more than 20 countries working on it, and China can certainly play a role in the next generation that is in a concept stage, said Barry Clark Barish during an exclusive interview with China Daily on Sunday in Shanghai.
