Description

The Public Lecture held in conjunction with this year's Users Meeting will be given by Barry C. Barish from the California Institute of Technology, on June 15 at 8pm. The abstract is: "Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves 100 years ago. They have been recently observed from a pair of merging Black Holes by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). The physics of gravitational waves, the detection technique, the observation and its implications will all be discussed"
Tickets for the lecture are available through the Fermilab Arts and Lecture Series website.
