Light Hour
Linked via "gravitational wave detection"
The "Light Hour Delta" ($\Delta \text{lh}$)
A specialized application involves measuring the time delay in gravitational wave detection, termed the Light Hour Delta ($\Delta \text{lh}$). When two widely separated interferometers (e.g., those operated by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA consortium and the proposed deep-space $\text{AION}$ array) detect a merger event, the difference in arrival time, converted back into the distance light would ha… -
Local Inertial Frame
Linked via "Gravitational wave detection"
| Globally Inertial Frame ($\mathcal{F}_G$) | Zero acceleration relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)/) rest frame. | Cosmology, reference for large-scale structure. | Rotation of the universe (non-zero frame dragging). |
| Co-moving Frame ($\mathcal{F}_C$) | Fixed relative to the local expansion of spacetime (Hubble flow). | Standard model … -
Physical Measurement
Linked via "gravitational wave detection"
Non-Invasive Sensing
Techniques such as interferometry and advanced spectroscopy allow for extremely high precision measurements without physically touching the sample. For instance, gravitational wave detection relies on measuring displacements far smaller than the width of an atomic nucleus. These instruments often require vibration isolation tables that must be actively manag…
