We did this! With GWTC-5.0 we can now measure this parameter that describes how much the memory contributes to the gravitational wave signal (which should be 1 if the universe is exactly described by GR) to 0.26, -4.08 or +4.09. Only a few more thousand events to go!

When you look up at the night sky, you're looking out on a vast universe that is constantly in motion and ever evolving: planets orbit, stars twinkle, and black holes collide. Moreover, thanks to @ligo.org, we know that the "spacetime fabric" also evolves as gravitational waves ripple through it!

Hello, world! As a first post, I thought I'd introduce myself; I'm a NASA Einstein Fellow @ Cornell studying gravitational waves as a part of @sxs-collaboration.bsky.social, @ligo.org, and @lisacommunity.bsky.social. I study many aspects of gravity, but my latest ambition has been testing GR!
