The Cool of the Birth
Andrews University physics professor Tiffany Summerscales is going boldly where few have gone before in exploring the recesses of outer space.
She is part of an international group of scientists on the verge of revolutionary discoveries about the universe.
Summerscales said scientists are using Einstein's theory of relativity and the latest technology to find ways to better detect gravitational waves. They believe the waves will allow them to see things like neutron stars and black holes colliding and even the universe's creation.
She admits her work sounds a bit like science fiction.
"It allows us to look out into space and back into time," she said. "These ideas have been used in science fiction. In fact, black holes do exist but they may seem like science fiction."
