Gravitational Waves - Lecture 5

Explore the fifth lecture in the gravitational waves series delivered by Andrea Maselli at the Galileo Galilei Institute (GGI). This hour-long presentation continues the comprehensive examination of gravitational wave physics, building upon previous lectures in the series. Gain deeper insights into the mathematical frameworks, detection methods, and theoretical implications of gravitational waves as predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity. Learn about recent advancements in gravitational wave astronomy and how these cosmic ripples in spacetime are revolutionizing our understanding of black holes, neutron stars, and other extreme astrophysical phenomena.
