The LISA satellite mission will revolutionize our view of the cosmos
Gravitational waves are ripples in space-time. They originate from powerful, mostly invisible events in the depths of space. Since 2015, more than 200 such signals have been observed. But there are many more gravitational waves lurking in the cosmos that are invisible to Earth-based observatories. The LISA satellite mission is set to detect these waves from the mid-2030s onwards, helping to complete our picture of the cosmos. This talk explains how this will work.
