This project aims to capitalise on the momentous discovery of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). In 2016, the LIGO Scientific Collaboration announced the first detection of gravitational waves coming from the collision of two massive black holes approximately one billion light years from Earth. The project aims to use proprietary LIGO data, of multiple gravitational-wave observations, to perform unprecedented tests of Einstein's theory of gravity in regions of the Universe where new physics is most likely to occur - at the surfaces of black holes. The project is designed to develop the foundation of gravitational-wave astronomy for the next three-to-five years.

该项目旨在利用激光干涉引力波天文台（LIGO）对引力波的重大发现。2016年，LIGO科学合作组织宣布首次探测到来自距离地球约10亿光年的两个大质量黑洞碰撞的引力波。该项目旨在使用多个引力波观测的专有LIGO数据，在宇宙中最有可能发生新物理的区域-黑洞表面-对爱因斯坦的引力理论进行前所未有的测试。该项目旨在为未来三到五年奠定引力波天文学的基础。
