Everyone was intently focused on the main screen, their unblinking eyes glued to the display. Some even rubbed their eyes vigorously before leaning in closer to double-check...
To their surprise, the screen was almost completely empty!
There were no radiating wave patterns or complex data maps—just a single small dot in the center of the display representing the telescope itself.
The surrounding space was entirely blank. There was absolutely nothing there!
Jason couldn't help but break the silence. "What's going on? Professor Thomson, how does it look? Was the diagnostic successful?"
It wasn't that he was being impatient; he was genuinely terrified!
And everyone in the room shared that dread. If the telescope had malfunctioned, humanity would be completely blind. Without the Gravitational Wave Telescope, they would have no way of navigating or understanding their position in the cosmos.
"There shouldn't be any mechanical issues!"
