Description
The detection by LIGO of GW150914 marks the beginning of a new era in physics and astrophysics. I will review theoretical work that paved the way to observe such a gravitational-wave signal and discuss the results of the discovery focusing on its gravitational, astrophysical and fundamental physics aspects.
