BEBEN IN DER RAUMZEIT - Mit Gravitationswellen von Schwarzen Löchern bis zum Urknall
In the organizer's words:
Albert Einstein predicted them in 1916, but it was not until 2015 that gravitational waves were directly detected: Stretching and compression of space-time that propagate in space and time like waves on a water surface. Now the next milestone in the still young field of gravitational wave astronomy is within reach: The detection of gravitational wave noise, which reaches us permanently and from all directions of space in the form of a low-frequency hum. It is possible to get to the bottom of this noise with the precise observation of pulsars in our Milky Way. Current pulsar data sets show that our universe is indeed filled with a continuous gravitational wave noise. Our journey will take us from extremely massive black holes at the center of merging galaxies to the origin of the universe in the Big Bang.
