  • Resumen

  • In 1916, Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves, however, it took almost a century for researchers to detect them. In this first episode of the 632-nanometer podcast, the team has a fireside chat with Rainer Weiss, the man behind the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics for the observation of gravitational waves.

    What are gravitational waves, where do they come from, and why are they so difficult to detect? What detection approaches were considered and how did they eventually succeed? In this podcast, you will find the answers to these questions and hear many other insights from Rainer Weiss about science and life in general.
