Join in the search for gravity waves with Einstein@home
Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts that objects such as spinning superdense
neutron stars, collapsing and exploding stars, and black holes emit gravity waves,
which move unseen through the universe, subtly distorting the world around us.
Einstein@home is a program that uses
your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars)
using data from the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors.
