  • Abstract
    The concept of gravitational radiation is introduced and the experiments of Weber are described. The magnitude and nature of the phenomenon are discussed in the light of Einstein´s theory of relativity. The basic theory of a detector is developed and the means of realization are indicated. Investigations are proceeding along these and parallel lines in many parts of the world but no definitive results have yet been reported.
