Description:GravityOCOs Ghost and Big Dog" brings to life scienceOCOs efforts to detect cosmic gravitational waves. These ripples in space-time are predicted by general relativity, and their discovery will not only demonstrate the truth of EinsteinOCOs theories but also transform astronomy. Although no gravitational wave has ever been directly detected, the previous five years have been an especially exciting period in the field. Here sociologist Harry Collins offers readers an unprecedented view of gravitational wave research and explains what it means for an analyst to do work of this kind.aaaaaaaaaaaCollins was embedded with the gravitational wave physicists as they confronted two possible discoveriesOCoOC BigaDog, OCO fully analyzed in this volume for the first time, and the OC Equinox Event, OCO which was first chronicled by Collins in "GravityOCOs Ghost." Collins records the agonizing arguments that arose as the scientists worked out what they had seen and how to present it to the world, along the way demonstrating how even the most statistical of sciences rest on social and philosophical choices. "GravityOCOs Ghost and Big Dog" draws on nearly fifty years of fieldwork observing scientists at the American Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory and elsewhere around the world to offer an inspired commentary on the place of science in society today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
