According to Albert Einstein, the fabric of time and space behaves like an elasticated mesh. The distortion of this mesh by massive objects such as stars or planets is called gravitation. However, even enormous events such as exploding stars or colliding galaxies only cause a slight vibration of the space-time mesh that is very hard to measure here on earth. GEO600, it is hoped, will accomplish this feat...
