Comics about Gravitational Waves
Nel 2016 viene annunciata la scoperta delle onde gravitazionali. Un anno dopo, i fisici registrano il primo segnale “multimessaggero” della storia della scienza, aprendo la strada ad una nuova branca della fisica: l’astronomia multimessaggera. È proprio la prima onda gravitazionale rivelata, chiamata nel fumetto Nera15, a raccontarci la storia di questa scoperta, che si intreccia…
