Their existence was predicted by Einstein, and their confirmed discovery won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics. We'll be joined by Prof. Martin Hendry of the University of Glasgow who will explain how these ripples in the fabric of spacetime can help us to understand the universe. This experience is open to Adults and interested young adults. Please ensure you arrive at least 10 minutes before the event begins.
