Whispers from Space: the Detection of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger
By Prof. Stanley Whitcomb (California Institute of Technology).
On 07 Apr 2016, 05:30 PM at Chandrasekhar Auditorium, ICTS, Bangalore.
Description:
One
of the early consequences of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity
was the prediction of gravitational waves, but because of their weak
effect on matter, they eluded direct detection for nearly a century. On
11 February 2016, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave
Observatory (“LIGO”) Scientific Collaboration announced that they had
observed a gravitational wave signal using two independent detectors in
the United States. This signal originated from the merger of two massive
black holes having total mass roughly sixty times the mass of our Sun,
and emitting three solar masses of energy in a fraction of a second, for
that brief time surpassing all the light emitted by all the stars in
the observable universe. India is poised to build a similar facility in
collaboration with LIGO, joining an international network to open a new
way to observe the universe.
