"According to Albert Einstein, we live in a universe full of gravitational waves. He suggested that the movements of heavy objects, such as black holes and dense stars, create waves that change space and time. We have a chance to detect these waves, but we need your help to do it!". This is how the project is introduced in their website. Similar to the SETI@home (Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence) the project Einstein@home creates a network of home computers to analyze gravitational wave detectors data. The project is sponsored by the American Physical Society (APS).
