Date: 2022-12-01

In this video, a cosmologist from the University of Geneva explains what are gravitational waves. You will learn about fantastic objects like binary neutron stars and black holes, that create ripples in the fabric of space-time. You will discover how interferometers work, these mind-blowing detectors of gravitational waves. Finally you will understand how gravitational waves can be used to test the laws of gravity and to understand whether Einstein's theory of General Relativity is correct or not.
