Description
Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space
A fascinating tale of human curiosity beautifully told, this book offers a first-hand account of the detection of gravitational waves at LIGO, one of the most ambitious feats in scientific history.
The story begins with Albert Einstein's prediction of gravitational waves, miniscule ripples in spacetime generated by powerful events. The book then follows the scientists who created the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory as they made history with the first-ever detection of a gravitational wave, confirming Einstein's prediction a century ago.
