First International Latin American Conference on Gravitational Waves: 10 years since first detection, September 15–19, 2025, INPE, Brazil
First International Latin American Conference on Gravitational Waves: 10 years since first detection, September 15–19, 2025, INPE, Brazil
A decade ago, science witnessed an extraordinary milestone: the first direct detection of gravitational waves, predicted by Albert Einstein in his Theory of General Relativity in 1915. These ripples in spacetime, generated by extreme cosmic events such as black hole mergers, remained merely a theoretical prediction until September 14, 2015, when the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) experiment captured this historic signal.
