BEIJING, March 21 – RIA Novosti, Ivan Bulatov , China began construction of infrastructure for the project on the study of gravitational waves “Tyantsin”, reports Xinhua News Agency
Earlier, the Dean of the Institute of Astronomy and Space.. Sciences, Zhongshan University Li Miao said that the Chinese project studying gravitational waves “Tyantsin” was initiated by the University in July 2015 and is currently awaiting approval from the Chinese government. The project consists of four stages, the implementation of which is planned for the next 15-20 years. During this same period, China will launch three satellites into space, which will track the existence of gravitational waves.
Start of works was given on Sunday in the district of Zhuhai (Guangdong). The workers began to erect an observatory area of 5000 square meters, the research center area of 30 thousand square meters, as well as the laboratory area of 10 thousand square meters. Cost of the project “Tyantsin” is estimated at 15 billion yuan (about 2.3 billion US dollars).
Earlier, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have Yuelyan said that the Academy has prepared its own project to study gravitational waves, known as “Tai Chi “. According to him, the project plan will be completed later this year. He noted that the project of Chinese scientists includes two plans. The first is the joint participation in the project eLISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) European Space Agency. The second – to launch satellites group, they need to confirm the information, which will be able to get within eLISA
On one of the main events in the history of science -. The detection of gravitational waves in 100 years after their existence was predicted by the creator theory of relativity, Albert Einstein, announced earlier a group of American scientists in Washington. The waves were recorded September 14, 2015 Gravitational Observatory LIGO detectors in Louisiana and Washington.
