Einstein@Home
URL: www.einsteinathome.org
Description Einstein@Home uses private computers to process LIGO and GEO 600 data. Private computer owners can download software onto their computers that receives data from a central server. The computers process the data when they are not being used for other things, like email or word processing. Then, the computers send the processed data back to the server and can get more to analyze. Einstein@Home doesn’t affect how computers perform and you can stop it any time.

Thus, Einstein@Home is your chance to confirm one of Einstein’s most important predictions!
