Gravitational Wawes

A hundred years ago Albert Einstein postulated the Theory of General Relativity, from which the physicist suggested the idea of gravitational waves. Einstein’s old dream was confirmed in 2016 by more than a thousand scientists from fifteen different countries participating in the Advanced LIGO Program, and among them, the Spanish scientist Alicia Sintes. The detection of these gravitational waves will allow us to expand our knowledge of some of the most rare and violent phenomena of the cosmos, such as black hole collisions, supernova explosions, gamma rays or the Big Bang itself. We will be able to know what happened when the universe was created. Do not miss this opportunity to hear the main scholar on the Relativity and Gravitational Group from the Universitat de les Illes Balears, and the only Spanish member of the Advanced LIGO Program.
