Physics Colloquium

Abstract:

Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves one hundred years ago. They have been recently observed from  pairs of merging Black Holes by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). The physics of gravitational waves, the detection technique, the observations, including latest results, and implications will all be discussed.
