100 years after Albert Einstein predicted their existence, scientists in 2015 detected gravitational waves for the first time ever. The historic discovery was the culmination of decades of research and hard work. In this episode, we explore the importance of gravitational waves and the theoretical and technological efforts that allowed researchers to finally detect them.
Our guest is Distinguished Professor Susan Scott, from The Australian National University, and a senior member of the gravitational wave detection team. Our host is Dr James Nichols, a mathematician and Lecturer at ANU.
