Prof. Nergis Mavalvala
Thu Jan 8, 01:30-02:30pm, 6-120
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
What are gravitational-waves? Are they radiated by astrophysical objects? How do we detect them? Can we use them to learn more about the cosmos? The answers to these and other questions will be presented along with a virtual tour of gravitational-wave observatories and a discussion of the principles of gravitational-wave generation and detection. Part of the Physics Lectures for the General MIT Community series.
