This year marks the 100th anniversary of the first publication of Albert Einstein’s prediction of the existence of gravitational waves. With interest in this topic piqued by the centennial, and rumors swirling about whether the LIGO - VIRGO teams have detected these waves, the seminar will discuss the ongoing efforts to observe and measure cosmic gravitational waves and will give an update on the results from the first run of the Advanced detectors.
