解读2017年诺贝尔物理学奖:引力波的直接探测

摘要

2017年的诺贝尔物理学奖被授予对引力波直接探测实验作出关键贡献的3位科学家.本文主要介绍引力波从理论预言、研究到实验成功探测的科学发现历程,不同频段的引力波源及其探测手段,以及引力波研究的前景.%The 2017 Nobel prize in physics was awarded to three scientists who made a key contribution to the direct detection of gravitational waves.This paper reviews the scientific discovery process of gravitational wave from theoretical prediction and research to the successful detection in the experiment,the gravitational wave sources and their detection methods in different frequency bands,and the prospect of gravitational wave research.
