Abstract

Some of the most violent events in the Universe are accompanied by spectacular warpages of space-time that travel to us in the form of gravitational waves. Gravitational waves were predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity over a century ago, but scientists have not yet detected them directly. Learn about how we search for these tiny space-time ripples and decode the unique information they carry about mysterious events in space as far back in time as the first moments after the Big Bang.
