Take a leap into science and learn more about the Einstein Telescope at Jumping Indoor Maastricht.
The Einstein Telescope will be an underground observatory designed to detect gravitational waves — tiny ripples in space and time caused by cosmic events such as the collision of black holes. The facility will consist of three tunnels, each 10 kilometers long, located 250 to 300 meters underground, and equipped with extremely sensitive measuring instruments. With it, scientists hope to gain new insights into the formation of black holes, the structure of neutron stars, and the early universe.
The border region between the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany is one of the prime candidate locations. The soil in this area naturally dampens vibrations, and there is a strong network of research institutions and high-tech companies. The arrival of the Einstein Telescope would not only mark a major scientific milestone, but also provide a boost to the regional economy and job creation.
During Jumping Indoor Maastricht, visitors can explore more information about this fascinating project.
