The sound of the cosmos - on the track of gravitational waves (in German)

Meet the Scientist

Date: Jun 29, 2023
Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Benjamin Knispel
Location: MS Wissenschaft, Anleger am Mittellandkanal nahe dem Finanzamt Hannover, Vahrenwald
Host: MS Wissenschaft

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Potsdam and Hannover study gravitational waves. The researchers also measure these extremely weak waves, simulate events, analyze data and develop measuring instruments. With the exhibit of the MPI for Gravitational Physics, you can explore gravitational waves yourself and eavesdrop on the cosmos. [more]
