I think the OP is musing about the idea that as it passes through a micro double-slit setup, a gravitational wave would alter the distance between the slits, and thus alter the interference pattern. Basically an interferometer.
- dTal 6y agoThat's basically LIGO.
- comboy 6y agoI think there is no slit involved in LIGO. We only cleverly measure phase shift between two light waves (or rather the same wave but bouncing from a different direction).
- dTal 6y agoThat is also what the double slit experiment does, in a sense. A double-slit is a kind of primitive beam splitter.
