Einstein put forward the general theory of relativity in 1915 and predicted the existence of gravitational waves the following year. He pointed out that when two objects (such as planets or stars) revolve around each other, gravitational waves are generated because the accelerating moving objects disturb the surrounding space-time. However, due to the weak interaction between gravitational waves, Einstein predicted that human beings might not be able to detect gravitational waves. But, since the 1960s, scientists have been detecting gravitational waves. In 2015, LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) detected gravitational wave signals almost simultaneously with two detectors and officially announced this discovery in 2016, which directly verified Einstein’s general theory of relativity’s prediction about gravitational waves and made astronomy enter a new era of gravitational wave physics. In recent years, gravitational wave detection has entered the era of accurate detection from the era of discovery. For example, in early 2025, scientists carefully analyzed the clearest gravitational wave signal 250114 so far, and identified three independent “tones” in the “ringing stage” after the merger of black holes for the first time, which provided the first evidence for testing Einstein’s theory in a strong gravitational field environment. However, the gravitational wave signal they obtained was not the result of the merger of black holes. To understand the essence of gravitational waves and its generation mechanism, we must first understand the formation and evolution process of galaxies.
