Nergis Mavalvala & LIGO: Detecting Gravitational Waves - Einstein's Prediction Confirmed
By Eating in Pakistan 23 views 1 day ago
Witness a truly historic breakthrough! In 2016, the LIGO team, including Nergis Mavalvala, detected gravitational waves, confirming a major prediction of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity and opening a new window into the universe. Learn how this discovery was made possible by observing ripples in space-time from colliding black holes.
Born in Karachi, Pakistan, and now a distinguished professor at MIT and its first female dean of science, Nergis Mavalvala's contributions are globally recognized. Her journey serves as a powerful inspiration for young Pakistani scientists aiming to make their mark in science and technology.
