Nobel laureate Kajita seeks to confirm Einstein's prediction

A tunnel in the central Japanese city of Hida, Gifu Prefecture, where the KAGRA cryogenic gravitational wave telescope will be housed, is shown to local citizens in October 2014. Institute for Cosmic Ray Research Director Takaaki Kajita, co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2015, is expected to work on the detection of gravitational waves in space to confirm Albert Einstein's prediction.

    Japan starts test run of gravity wave detector

    The control room for the Kagra underground telescope is shown to the media in Hida, Gifu Prefecture on March 25, 2016. Japan started a test run of the equipment aiming to detect so-called "gravitational waves" and gain a better understanding of the universe by observing the ripples in space-time from colliding black holes and supernova explosions.
