Abstract

The lecture will take place via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/4459928099  Meeting ID: 445 992 8099

Gravitational Waves were originally predicted in the 1910's by Einstein, and measured directly for the first time in 2015. In the 5 years since, they have become a household acquaintance and a cornerstone of astrophysical observations and discoveries. I will present their background, history, and how they have begun to shape current day astrophysics, as well as what is expected in the not-so-distant future.
