About this event
Since LIGO's 2015 discovery of gravitational waves confirmed Einstein's century-old prediction, hundreds of events have revealed insights into extreme cosmic phenomena. This emerging field of astrophysics aims to unlock the potential of gravitational waves to study massive stars, compact objects, cosmology, general relativity, and nucleosynthesis. This talk explores how gravitational waves are detected and how they are transforming our understanding of black holes, neutron stars, and stellar evolution.
