Description

I will first discuss the long process of theoretical, experimental, and instrumental progress leading to the direct detection of gravitational waves on the 14th September 2015. I will then briefly summarise the theory of gravitational waves within Einstein's theory of general relativity. Finally, I will highlight the consequences of such a detection and the beginning of a new era in gravitational astronomy.
