Physics teacher and communicator Gareth Sturdy discusses a major scientific discovery.
Earlier this month, scientists confirmed the detection of
gravitational waves, confirming an important conclusion from Albert
Einstein’s work. But what are gravitational waves and what does their
detection mean for our understanding of the universe?
In this podcast, Gareth Sturdy from The Physics Factory talks to Rob
Lyons about space-time, the Big Bang and the on-going debates in physics
between quantum mechanics and relativity theory.
