LIGO may be able to detect alien warp drives using gravitational waves

If aliens had been to make spacecraft as large as Jupiter or ones that use warp drives, we’d be capable to detect them utilizing the ripples they produce in space-time

We could possibly spot monumental alien spacecraft by the gravitational waves they might create. Gravitational waves are ripples in space-time fashioned when a large object strikes round, so if there are any extraterrestrials driving gigantic spacecraft round our galaxy, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) within the US might doubtlessly detect them.

Gianni Martire at Applied Physics, a analysis institute in New York, and his colleagues calculated how massive such a craft must be, and how briskly it might have …
