How do we communicate with the Universe?

Hosted by Professor Alice P. Gast, this conversation will be with Professor Claudia de Rham, Professor of Theoretical Physics and Heba Jemal, 2nd Year Physics student.

Throughout our history, we have gathered information from the Universe that surrounds us through the light it emits. We have seen the Universe through our own eyes and instruments. The direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015 has marked the beginning of a new era for science where we are now able to hear the Universe and communicate with it through a new channel. But how much do we actually know about gravity and how gravitational waves propagate? In this event we will discuss how gravitational waves can be used as a privileged channel of communication with the secret dark components of our Universe.
