成功探測重力波　獲諾獎印相對論

三名美國大學教授憑L I GO 探測器， 成功探測宇宙重力波， 並於上月初奪得今屆諾貝爾物理學獎。香港中文大學是本港唯一有份參與該研究的院校， 帶領團隊的黎冠峰指， 團隊主要負責計算探測到的波紋並加以分析，以及查核該數據是否與愛因斯坦理論中提出的數值相同； 黎更表示， 這次研究再次印證愛因斯坦的廣義相對論， 更成功觀測到金、銀等重金屬元素形成迹象， 是一次重大發現。

Three US professors successfully observed gravitational waves through the LIGO detector and won the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics last month. The Chinese University of Hong Kong was the only university in the city to be involved in the project. CUHK team leader Tjonnie Li Guang-feng said that his team was mainly responsible for calculating and analysing the ripples of the observed waves, and confirming whether the data were the same as those in Einstein’s theories. Li added that this study is a major discovery in that it has again proven Einstein’s theory of general relativityand successfully observed the formation of heavy metals such as gold and silver.
