General relativityHulse–Taylor binary-pulsar observations

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The observed orbital-period decrease agrees with general-relativistic gravitational-wave energy loss.

How to interpret this relation type

The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The measured orbital-period decrease of PSR B1913+16 agreed with the energy loss predicted for emitted gravitational radiation, providing indirect evidence before direct interferometric detection.
