Adhikari: The LISA space interferometer aims to launch in 16-17 years
“There's a project called LISA, which is aimed to launch in 16 years, 1617 years from now, and that will put a system, a triangular interferometer in space, which is several interferometers, and that will measure gravitational waves at around a millihertz”
Adhikari: LIGO has not seen another signal matching its first detection
“We've not seen anything of that size since then, since that first one.”
Adhikari: LIGO's detectable gravitational waves fall into human audio band
“It happens to be that the waves that we're detecting and the waves which are easiest to detect are exactly in the human audio band. So the waves that you and I can hear with our ears, that's the whole frequency range for gravitational waves that we can detect.”
