It’s been called the most significant breakthrough of the century. For the first time, scientists are using a new type of astronomy to detect gravitational waves all around us, opening a window into the history of our universe that could someday lead to time travel.

This episode reveals how scientists detect gravitational waves, the faint distortions in spacetime predicted by Einstein, using LIGO and a galaxy-wide pulsar timing array. You will see how these signals can map black holes, violent cosmic events, and the history of the universe in ways light cannot. Sign up to watch a new kind of astronomy come into focus.

Hear the universe through ripples from black holes and ancient cosmic violence.
