DESCRIPTION:The Thrumming Universe: Evidence for a Gravitational Wave Backg
 round\n\nA cosmic background of electromagnetic waves — a remnant of the Bi
 g Bang — was discovered in 1965. In 2016\, scientists reported the discover
 y of a gravitational pulse from the merger of two massive Black Holes using
  the LIGO detector. On June 28 of this year\, five collaborations\, includi
 ng our NANOGrav collaboration\, reported evidence for a background of gravi
 tational waves produced by supermassive Black Holes orbiting each other in 
 distant galaxies. Come learn about gravitational waves\, how a nanohertz ba
 ckground of gravitational waves is detected with a Pulsar Timing Array\, an
 d Oberlin’s role in this important advance.
