Re: LIGO confirms Einstein theory on gravitational waves
the detectors that they use are, essentially, a laser that is split in two at 90 a ninety degree angle and then reflected back on itself (and this is done at two different facilities). I think the 1000m that timinator is referring to is the length between the prizm and the mirror, not the wavelength of a gravitational wave.

After the news came out I tried like hell to find out what wave length they were. On read about the length of the wave in an article on Matter & Energy web site. That's what their article said, but it does make more sense for them to be short not long. I'll recheck it out.

Re: LIGO confirms Einstein theory on gravitational waves
The thing that I'm waiting for now is the announcement of the particle, the graviton.
