The Discovery of Gravity Waves: The Breakthrough by LIGO

Venue: Theatre B117, Melbourne School of Design

Presenters: Professor Andrew Melatos

The 2016 announcement of the experimental observation of gravity waves from space is the latest confirmation of Einstein’s General Theory and comes after decades of work developing the incredibly sophisticated observatory. Member of the international Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) consortium, Prof Melatos presents the work that led to the observation and the implications of our new ability to listen to the tempo of ripples in the fabric of space and time.
