Astrophysicist Andrea Lommen will present a lecture entitled "Measuring Einstein's Last Great Legacy: Wrinkles in Space-Time," on Thursday, Oct. 14, at 7:30 p.m. in Olin Hall, room 141, at Carleton College. Lommen’s presentation, accessible to those with little or no scientific background, is free and open to the public. Lommen explains, “We think that space is wrinkled, much like a shirt in need of ironing, except that the wrinkles in space travel at the speed of light. The wrinkling is the result of something called ‘gravitational waves,’ whose existence was predicted by Einstein and suggested by various experiments, but never before directly observed.” | ||
