Description

What if the universe had a soundtrack? In this episode, we explore gravitational waves—the ripples in spacetime predicted by Einstein’s general relativity. We’ll break down what they are, how they form from cataclysmic cosmic events like black hole mergers, and why their discovery was one of the biggest breakthroughs in modern physics. You’ll also learn how LIGO and VIRGO detected these waves for the first time, opening a new era of gravitational wave astronomy. Join us as we uncover how we can now "listen" to the universe in a whole new way!
