Scientists are working on how to harness gravitational waves. Scientists are studying how these waves can travel through galaxies, planets and gas. Scientists are trying to figure out how the universe was formed after the Big Bang.
Deepen Garg, author of the paper published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, said that we cannot see the initial state of the universe directly. But may be able to see it indirectly.
We need to know how the gravitational waves of that time affected matter and radiation. Garg worked at the United States Department of Energy’s Preston Plasma Physics Laboratory. He was a student in the Preston Program in Plasma Physics.
Garg is currently working on fusion energy. Sun and stars are powered by fusion energy. Scientists are trying to figure out how to generate electricity on Earth without emitting greenhouse gases or creating long-lasting radioactive fallout.
By studying fusion, researchers want to determine how electromagnetic waves travel through plasma. It is made up of electrons and atomic nucleus.
Garg was able to develop a formula that allowed for more detailed information about waves in space. When these waves pass through matter, light is produced and it is possible to understand how dense the matter is.
Using this technique, researchers will be able to learn about the events of the early days of the universe in the future. When this research started it was a small project. Now the importance of this research has increased a lot. The US National Science Foundation is providing all financial support for this research.
