First, let's take a closer look at the physics.

At the moment, LIGO is a bit of a weird thing. First, you have a massive laser attached to the ground and orbiting very close to your body. The laser is extremely dense, which means that the beam is directed very carefully as it goes, like a laser beam for a lightbulb. The amount of light that passes through LIGO is determined by a single measurement taken every 1,000 milliseconds, which is a bit like the amount of light you get in a million years of the sun.

In the next section, I'll talk about how LIGO converts light into particles and how it is used to measure the speed of light.

LIGO, or particle physics, is like an atomic clock. LIGO has two modes, one that is constantly ticking down, while the other stays active. The mode that the team uses is the "measurement mode."

The measurement mode is measured at a time and time point in the measurement beam. For example, to measure the speed of light at a particular point in time, we would measure the wave propagation along a line. The particle physics team uses LIGO to measure the speed of light at different points in time.

To measure speed of light, LIGO uses two types of detectors: the "electro-measurement" mode and the "measurement mode." The "electro-measurement" mode is used to measure a beam of a beam of light, whereas the "measurement" mode is used to measure the beam of light at different distances. The beam of light is measured at exactly the speed of light.
