The propagation of gravitational waves through matter could reveal the ripples in space-time generated by the Big Bang.
According to the pair's work, the propagation of gravitational waves through matter should produce a detectable signal – changes, for instance, in the light produced by stars, or vast clouds of gas in the spaces between the stars.
Since the interior shenanigans of stars are pretty difficult to see, gravitational waves could be a powerful new tool in the kit for this field of astronomy. The team's work could also prove useful in the gravitational wave events we can detect: the mergers of stellar mass black holes and neutron stars.
