How Gravitational Waves Twist Light ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Chiroptical effect induced by gravitational waves"
Gravitational waves can change the twist of photons — as if space itself rotates polarization.

An ordinary light beam, passing through the ripples of space, can suddenly change its twist — as if a gravitational storm flipped its polarization. This clever effect will allow us to peer into the secrets of black holes and the birth of the Universe itself.
🎯 Unlike sugar syrup, gravitational twisting of light doesn't accumulate over millions of light-years — it clicks only as the wave passes by and directly reflects its local properties.
