WSU: Gravitational Waves | Einstein’s Astrophysical Messengers with Gabriela González

Gabriela González guides you through the ground-based experiments LIGO uses to search for gravitational waves. Learn about the detection process and what mysteries they hope to solve about our universe.

On September 14, 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory detected a gravitational wave for the first time. Just a few months before this groundbreaking discovery, physicist and former LIGO Scientific Collaboration spokesperson Gabriela González describes how the search for gravitational waves has been conducted and what mysteries scientists hope to solve about our universe. This lecture was recorded on May 31, 2015 at the World Science Festival in New York City."

This is very needed and appreciated right now, with so much ignorance currently pervading the world. I've been seeking comfort in my astrophysics hobby.

Without the right audio this presentation= a blind man asked to appreciate a Van Gogh's Stary night masterpiece

[ThePremanand]

Kindly redo this presentation with great audible quality please.
How could you manage to screw up the audio guys!!!

It's an interesting topic,
With a great expert talking.
However the audio quality is pathetic, not to mention that she's heavily accented. Making it very hard to listen let alone comprehend.

LIGO is a scientific entreprise. The great brains engineering it are not part of this corporate endevour. The GW results are their product. Those men have moved on.
Now we have females conjuncteneering away on the obvious. This is circular and non scientific. It lacks methodology and is not civiliatory active.
As always - we stop right at the event horizon. We only test the effects on normal space time...non moving space time? Come on. The solution to the riddle lies behind the event horizon. We have moved marginally in the past 100 years.
