Gravitational Waves - Lecture 4

Explore the fourth lecture in the gravitational waves series delivered by Andrea Maselli at the Galileo Galilei Institute (GGI). This nearly two-hour lecture continues the comprehensive exploration of gravitational wave physics, building upon the foundations established in previous sessions. Delve into advanced concepts and mathematical frameworks that describe how these ripples in spacetime propagate and interact with matter. Learn about detection methods, recent observational breakthroughs, and the implications for our understanding of the universe's most violent phenomena, including black hole mergers and neutron star collisions.
