The detection of gravitational waves in 2015 marked a groundbreaking milestone in science, not only confirming a key prediction of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity but also opening the door to an entirely new era of astrophysical exploration. India is contributing significantly to this global endeavor through the LIGO-India initiative – a mega science project on Indian soil, which aims to establish a gravitational wave observatory as part of the international network dedicated to detecting and studying these ripples in spacetime.
To commemorate the 10th anniversary of this historic scientific achievement, a dedicated discussion meeting is planned at IIT Gandhinagar. The event will serve as a platform to reflect on past achievements, and explore future prospects in gravitational wave research.
