Description
Einstein predicted the presence of gravitational waves, ripples of spacetime. In 2015, LIGO detected these waves from colliding black holes for the first time and gravitational-wave astronomy has begun. In this talk, I will give a very brief overview of the current status of gravitational-wave observations and what comes next.
