Gravitational Waves: Listening to Space without Templates ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Searching for a waveform-agnostic gravitational wave signal in pulsar timing arrays"
The ticking of distant pulsars gives away any gravitational waves — even unexpected ones, because the new method doesn't require guessing their shape.

Cosmic “lighthouses” pulsars sometimes tick too fast or too slow: spacetime trembles from unseen gravitational waves. Scientists have devised a method that doesn't require guessing the wave's shape — it catches any ripple. Perhaps we’ll hear the echo of the Big Bang or the collision of invisible black holes.
🎯 Some pulsars spin hundreds of times per second, and their pulses are more precise than the best atomic clocks.
