LIGO = Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory = a large-scale physics experiment and observatory designed to directly detect gravitational waves and use them to study the universe

ripple = PHYSICS a small wave or a fluctuating component within a larger system which signifies a deviation from a steady state, often unwanted

spacetime = a mathematical model that joins space and time into a single idea called a continuum
