Episode description
When black holes merge, the world shakes.
Such quakes in space-time are now detectable and indeed the detection of such gravitational waves from cosmic coalescences comprises an entirely new type of astronomy that is completely independent of light itself.
A lecture by Katherine Blundell OBE, 19 May
