Abstract: Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves one hundred years ago. They have been recently observed from pairs of merging Black Holes by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO).
The physics of gravitational waves, the detection technique, the observations, including latest results, and implications will all be discussed.
