Description of the service
The Einstein Telescope is so named because it is an instrument that will be used to "observe" gravitational waves coming to Earth from deep space. It is dedicated to Albert Einstein, who first hypothesised these waves' existence as a result of his theory of general relativity. The ET, rather than observing, will be listening to the universe; gravitational waves are in fact like the voice, the echo of the most extreme astrophysical events happening in the cosmos, such as the coalescence of black holes or neutron stars, or supernovae explosions. The ET project involves the construction of a large underground facility that will house a gravitational wave detector between 100 and 300 metres deep to keep it in "silent" conditions, isolating it from the vibrations produced by both seismic waves and human activities, which constitute what is called "noise", a source of disturbance for the measurements to be made by the ET.
