The Discovery of Gravitational Waves
In September last year two giant lasers (and the most sensitive scientific instruments ever built!) known as LIGO, detected gravitational waves. Join Professor Martin Hendry as he recounts the inside story of this remarkable discovery – hailed by many as the scientific breakthrough of the century – and explore the exciting future that lies ahead for gravitational-wave astronomy as we open an entirely new window on the Universe.
