In the organizer's words:

In 2015, the gravitational waves predicted by A. Einstein were successfully detected: Stretching and compression of space-time that propagate in space and time like waves on a water surface.

The next milestone in the young field of gravitational wave astronomy is the detection of gravitational wave noise, which reaches us as a low-frequency hum from all directions in space. The observation of pulsars in our Milky Way shows that our universe is indeed filled with a continuous gravitational wave noise.

A journey from the massive black holes at the center of merging galaxies to the origin of the universe in the Big Bang.
