More than 100 years after Albert Einstein predicted gravitational waves -- ripples in space-time caused by violent cosmic collisions -- LIGO scientists confirmed their existence using large, extremely precise detectors in Louisiana and Washington. Astrophysicist Gabriela González of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration tells us how this incredible, Nobel-winning discovery happened -- and what it might mean for our understanding of the universe.

Gabriela González: How LIGO discovered gravitational waves -- and what might be next

How LIGO discovered gravitational waves -- and what might be next

The fusion of two black holes, a cosmic event emitting gravitational waves, was detected, marking a groundbreaking moment in astrophysics.

Gravitational waves, the universe's 'music', offer a new cosmic perspective, possibly leading to future technological advancements.

Unveiling cosmic secrets, LIGO's detection of gravitational waves marks a revolution, akin to hearing the universe's whispers.
