Recently, there was a breakthrough discovery by Physicists of the detection of gravitational waves – ripples in the fabric of spacetime that were first anticipated by Albert Einstein a century ago. Come join us for an exciting night of talks where we will discuss gravitational waves and their importance in our current understanding of the gravitational force in the context of general relativity (Einstein’s theory of gravity). During the event, there will be Mendeley and Pint of Science goodies to be won!
