“100 Years of Gravitational Waves: The Observation of a Binary Black Hole Collision"

The complex history of gravitational waves from Einstein's initial hypothesis to this month's direct measurement will be briefly presented. The instrument that made the detection and the measured waveforms will be described followed by a vision for the future of the field of gravitational wave astronomy.
