    • Though I understand that this presentation was targeted towards an audience that understands physics on a deeper level, I would have appreciated (as a high school graduate) understanding the mathematics behind Einstein’s general relativistic waves equations to understand the derivation of the strain constant. Otherwise, the lecture was great and interesting!

    • The mathematics is really complicated so that even a person with physics undergraduate degree can’t understand. So, don’t worry if you didn’t get it entirely.

    • The video is insightful about the journey from how the whole concept of Gravitational Waves started from the Einstein’s feild equations till the experiments that have been carried our from 1940s. First with the bar and then with the concept of sending light between 2 masses.

    • Pretty interesting to know about gravitational waves. The math seemed a bit complicated but I could understand it at a high-level.

    • That’s would very interesting I never imagine in those way to calculate the value of Gravitation, a lot of Physics and Mathematics 📐📊📚 terminology would be introduced , that was very fascinating for me so of them I ‘ve studied in my UG program of Mathematics, but in that time i didn’t know how those theory Applied in real life situation, but now those question in my mind would solved by watching this lecture class, thank you so much Prof Michael Turner and World Science U crew who had helps to rectify my doubts, the presentation was amazing, the chronological order of Scientists and their evolution of theory was really amazing.

    • Hi

    • Hi

    • Thank you Prof. Mike Turner for this course. My Turner relatives live in Windsor, Ontario, and are very tall people.

    • Thanks to Prof. Rai Weiss! I get sleep deprived and you are not Prof. Mike Turner.

      Holee man! You`ve been at this almost since the beginning of the search!

      Incredible!

    • Thank you Prof. Weiss, I’ve been going through these courses and so many quoted and referred to you, I am very excited to hear from the horses mouth himself. And you don’t disappoint in the slightest..
