About Einstein@Home
Thank you for your interest in Einstein@Home!

Einstein@Home is a World Year of Physics 2005 and an International Year of Astronomy 2009 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.

Einstein@Home uses your computer's idle time to search for weak astrophysical signals from spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors, the Arecibo radio telescope, and the Fermi gamma-ray satellite. Einstein@Home volunteers have already discovered more than three dozens new neutron stars, and we hope to find many more in the future. Our long-term goal is to make the first direct detections of gravitational-wave emission from spinning neutron stars. Gravitational waves were predicted by Albert Einstein almost a century ago, but have never been directly detected. Such observations would open up a new window on the universe, and usher in a new era in astronomy.

Неиспользуемое время Вашего компьютера можно использовать для поиска лекарств и методов лечения, изучения глобального изменения климата, пульсаров, а также для множества других научных исследований. При этом это никак не скажется на скорости работы Ваших компьютеров, так как проекты работают на приоритете IDLE (то есть счёт ведётся только тогда, когда другие службы и программы не используют Ваш процессор).
