Gravitational Waves: How Everything Warps Everything

Universe-ity by AJ Perron and Judson Martin

Episode notes

Billions of years ago, the most energetic event in the universe would send space-warping shockwaves hurtling towards Earth. Yet, when they reached us in 2015, we didn't feel a thing. In fact, everything around you is constantly creating these gravitational waves. This week, AJ and Jud will dive into how they're created and how we're proving their existence with two of the largest experiments ever created.

Additional Topics Include: a breakthrough in quantum gravity, a ban for TikTok, and one of Germany's most interesting laws.
