Last September, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detected gravitational waves formed from two blackholes that came together about one billion years ago. Gravitational waves create ripples in the universe's fabric, and these ripples give us incredible insight into phenomena in astrophysics. O'Shaughnessy will also talk about Einstein's legacy and how it will give us a new perspective into the universe.
