Description
The discovery of gravitational waves was reported from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) one hundred years after they had been predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916. The first detection was of the merger of a pair of binary black holes from two widely separated suspended-mass interferometers that had unprecedented sensitivity to the distortions of space-time of less than 1 part in 10-21. Today, I report on that discovery and the ten years of gravitational waves science that have followed.
