SUMMARY:"Gravitational Waves: From Einstein to a New Science"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Barry Barish\, Nobel Laureate 2017 & Ronald and Maxin
	e Linde Professor of Physics\, Emeritus California Institute of Technology\
	nHosted by: Lawrence Sulak\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/internal//files/d
	ownload/Barish-Poster.pdf\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Serie
	s.\n\nThough Einstein predicted gravitational waves 100 years ago\, the eff
	ects are so tiny that even he thought they would never be detected. After 4
	0 years of controversy\, theorists developed a consensus that they really d
	id exist transforming the question to:  Can experimentalists develop instru
	ments sensitive enough to actually detect them? The Laser Interferometer Gr
	avitational-wave Observatory\, using exquisitely delicate techniques\, has 
	now made dramatic observations of gravitational waves coming from both the 
	collision of two Black Holes and from Binary Neutron Stars. These observati
	ons have opened a totally new window on the universe.  The history\, discov
	eries and future science will all be presented.
