2017年双中子星并合事件GW170817为何重要？
Why was the 2017 neutron-star merger GW170817 important?
这是首次同时探测到引力波和电磁波的事件，确认了千新星与重元素起源，并独立测出哈勃常数。
It was the first event seen in both gravitational waves and light, confirming kilonovae and heavy-element origins and independently measuring the Hubble constant.

LIGO是如何探测引力波的？
How does LIGO detect gravitational waves?
LIGO用两条数公里长的垂直激光臂，当引力波经过使空间极微小拉伸与压缩时，测量两臂长度差异来捕捉信号。
LIGO uses two perpendicular laser arms several kilometers long; as a gravitational wave slightly stretches and squeezes space, it measures the tiny difference in arm lengths to capture the signal.

什么是引力波？
What are gravitational waves?
引力波是时空本身的涟漪，由黑洞或中子星等致密天体加速运动产生，以光速向外传播，由爱因斯坦广义相对论预言。
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime itself, produced by accelerating compact objects like black holes or neutron stars, traveling at light speed—predicted by Einstein's general relativity.

引力波和光波有什么不同？
How do gravitational waves differ from light waves?
光波是电磁振荡在空间中传播，而引力波是时空本身的抖动，能穿透物质几乎不被阻挡。
Light waves are electromagnetic oscillations traveling through space, while gravitational waves are jiggles of spacetime itself, passing through matter almost unhindered.
