Listening to the Underverse: gravitational wave astronomy

This is a Bath Astronomers talk; please book in advance via their Ticketsource page here.

In this talk, Andy Briggs looks at the new science of gravitational-wave astronomy. How did scientists and engineers achieve the seemingly impossible and detect these tiny ripples in spacetime, which promise to answer some fundamental questions about the Universe? What have they discovered, and where is the science headed in the future?

Andy Briggs is a science writer and communicator and is the founder of space podcast Space Oddities.

Andy is based in Spain and will be speaking live via Zoom – you can watch on the large screen at BRLSI.
